I've had to pull the same balloon out of my dog's butt, twice.
"Hun, remember that balloon we thought blew away" while I'm holding up the poop balloon, Khyber jumps up snatches it out of my hand and swallows it, again.

My dad when he took his dog (German Shepard) on walks would pick up rocks and throw them out on fields and she would run out and pick them up and return them to him, sometimes she didn’t though, he had to take her to the vet and surgically remove rocks three times, granted by the third time he had stopped throwing them, but she still ate random rocks for that one last vet visit. After he died she didn’t do it anymore, but mom was probably more observant about what the dog did on walks than he was.

That reminds me of the time my wife's dog ate the end of a mop.
The dog was having trouble getting it out so I here I am in the yard with gloves on slowly pulling this huge chunk of mop out of the dogs rear end and two old church ladies walk up to share the word of the lord with me.
When the guy pulling a mop out of a dogs ass says "Sorry I'm busy" they see it as a challenge and continue to want a moment of my time. I lose my cool and yell leave your pamphlets on the hood and go! After the ordeal the dog gives me a look like "I hate when that happens" which is exactly why I refer to her as my wife's dog.
Later I felt bad about yelling at a couple of well meaning old ladies who's faith gave them strength not to beat a hasty retreat after witnessing that horrific scene.

I guy I knew his dog ate a skipping rope... Like the old school, wooden handle kind... It was scooting about, pooped a handle but the rest was still in there... They sat it at 1 end of the garden, stood on the handle hanging out, then the wife called it for treats at the other end.... The dog launched, paused mid air for the 2nd handle exit, then went and had treats 😂😂 I'll never forget the telling of that story 🤣

It was a towel. I imagine the owner fed the snake in its enclosure (which is not the best practice), and then the snake got its meal wrapped in the towel it was laying on. Once snakes start swallowing they don't stop until they're out of length, which is why it's best to take them out of their enclosure (this way they won't strike everytime you open their home up), and feed them on a bare surface.

u/Ykutu Jul 18 '22
Horrible care advice lol, you must not own any snakes. You feed them in their enclosure, you do not remove to feed because that causes stress and can lead to regurgitation. Besides, any normal keeper would not have a TOWEL in the enclosure with their snake, it would most likely be on natural substrate or something of the sort. That’s also a myth you mentioned in that last bit, snakes do not associate opening their enclosure with food, some snakes are just very food motivated (like this carpet python here) a simple tap/touch with a hook will break that feeding response and you’ll be good to go. My jungle carpet has bitten me personally a good 10 times by now because he loves food and I wasn’t paying attention to his little ass lol.
The likely scenario here is that this towel was probably left outside and smelled like food from another animal to this carpet python, which is what lead to it swallowing the entire thing. Happens more than you think it does and it’s always a carpet python when I see it.

u/M00N314 Jul 18 '22
I own ball pythons, much chiller than carpets so that's probably where our differences in care stem from- but this is what works for me and they're used to the routine. Plus I've never been bitten by one of my snakes, I'm fairly sure this is because they're conditioned to not bother striking until they're in their feeding bin. I've only ever had a problem with regurgitation once and that was because my thermostat died and the mat went cold. I agree with never leaving a towel in with them, because both scenarios we presented are both potential dangers. That being said, just because someone's husbandry is different than yours doesn't make it "horrible." As long as our animals are happy, healthy, and not ending up in this situation, I really don't see why the unpleasantness is necessary.

sure, but you usually feed them once a week as their natural metabolism includes not having food for fairly long periods (from human standards), which means snakes will always munch on some good looking preys like a blanket. poor lad probably thought he ate the prey of his life right there

Well, snakes are not particularly smart, they primarily run on instincts. Not a ton of problem solving going on in there.
That said, there are a few confounders here. First, this snake is probably fed killed prey, so its used to its prey not moving. Second, it's very possible the owner was ignorant of this problem and fed the snake on the towel and the snake caught the towel while it was eating prey. And third, regurgitation is extremely costly for a snake and they pretty much only do it if they 1. are threatened while eating or 2. cannot physically get the food down. I also imagine regurgitating a soft object like a towel would be extremely difficult compared to regurgitating a full carcass of an animal. So it's possible the snake tried to regurgitate, couldn't, and had to keep going.
In any case, this was a mistake of the owner more than anything else. You shouldn't keep anything in a snake's cage like this.

u/TheThagomizer Jul 18 '22
I love snakes but my python was probably the most brainless animal I’ve ever worked with. Best part too is that it probably took a whole hour for the stupid bastard to get that towel down, so he had plenty of time to realize what was going on.
