Python Undergoes Surgery After Swallowing BBQ Tongs

A python, named Winston, is now recovering from surgery after undergoing a procedure to remove a pair of BBQ tongs that he had swallowed. Winston’s owner, Aaron Rouse, explains that he was feeding a rat to the snake using the tongs when he latched on to it and refused to let go. After unsuccessful attempts to pry the kitchen utensil away, he decided to leave the python with the tongs. However, when Aaron returned, he realized that Winston had completely swallowed the item.
