Python swallows electric blanket, gets warm, fuzzy feeling inside
Edited on Thu Jul-20-06 03:39 PM by auntAgonist
It took surgery to save a 4-metre Burmese python after it swallowed an entire queen-size electric blanket — with the electrical cord and control box still attached.

The blanket must have gotten tangled up in the snake's rabbit dinner, said owner Karl Beznosk, who lives in Ketchum, Idaho. He kept the blanket in the cage to keep the 27-kilogram reptile warm.

"Somehow, he was able to unplug the electric cord," Beznoska said Wednesday. "He at least wasn't hooked up to the power. It might have been pretty warm there."

When I saw "Python" my first thought went to John Cleese, though...
