Python Gulps Queen-Size Electric Blanket

[JLC]

Wow! That's just nuts!! Glad to hear that the snake is going to be ok!

And there we have another one of those warnings that people look at and just shake their heads because everyone knows the warning wouldn't be given if SOMEone out there hadn't tried it. "Don't leave plugged in electric blankets in your burm's cage!" ......amazing....

[Freakie_frog]

That is sad why would it eat a blanket. From HUNGER? And it took 6 hours to get it down. That is really sad

[mr~python]

wow... amazing

my cat ate string once.

tried pulling it out the other end if ya know what i mean(ewwww)...ended up passing it latter that night.
but i guess thats not as freaky as an ELECTRIC BLANKET for petes sake!

Wow. I think next time he feeds his snake maybe he should leave the blanket out.
I would guess it got tangle in the food like the article stated and once he had half down he had to keep going.

Why would you use an electric blanket in the cage !?!

HAH! i just realized i linked the same story in the off topic section.

i didnt think of checking here first.

anyways its completely nuts and that dude is giving peeps like us a bad name. seriously. thats up there with heat-rocks and using flystrips. urrrggg.

Well, your link is a bit cooler, it has pics of the xrays!
And I agree with you, I can't believe this guy has kept his snake like this for what, 16 years? Just wow.

The operating vets had never operated on a snake before either ... but were taking instructions.

Glad snake is OK but where did those people learn their husbandry techniques
