A pet python in Australia was so hungry that not only did it eat a rat, but also the tongs holding its meal.
The BBC reports that Winston, a pet python, "dumfounded" owner Aaron Rouse as he was feeding it.
The X-rays of the lodged utensil in the snake have gone viral on social media.
A veterinarian at Adelaide University was able to successfully extract the tongs from the snake.
The snake is expected to make a full recovery.
