Python swallows electric blanket:?

Clearly, there are better ways to heat a Burm. than this. I'm just glad it was discovered on time.

Heard about this over the radio this morning on my drive to work.
Thought about posting it too....beat me to the punch I guess!
Crazy story though. Wow!

Wow, that was horrific. Glad the Burm is ok. What was it doing IN the enclosure?

The article said the guys used it to keep the snake warm....now why know another reason heat pads INSIDE the cages are bad. *sigh* Good thing he had a good vet.

Thats insane lol
To bad they didnt show what the blanket looked like after the stomache acids had broken it down a little, i would be interested in seeing just how much of the blanket was left
