Snake swallows two golf balls thinking they were eggs, goes under the knife

This snake’s got balls. Golf balls, that is, stuck inside her stomach!

She was found in a chicken coop in Newton, Georgia on Tuesday, Neatorama reports, where it is believed she ate the golf balls thinking they were chicken eggs.

The owner of the chickens found the snake with two visibly large sacs in the middle of her body and rushed the snake to the vet to get help.

At the Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island, a team of skilled veterinarians performed surgery on the gray rat snake, successfully removing both golf balls.

This was a delicate operation, as the incision into the stomach had to be flushed out and kept clean because of all the bacteria in the stomach.

Veterinarians at the facility then had to ensure each layer of the snake's stomach, body cavity lining, and skin were sutured closed. She is now on antibiotics, hoping to make a quick recovery.

This little snake is lucky: Since she could not pass the golf balls, they surely would have killed her.
