This poor snake in Australia had mistakenly eaten four golf balls that were used to encourage the hens to lay eggs.
"They took the 32-inch nonvenomous snake to the nearby Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where senior veterinarian Michael Pyne operated to remove the balls from the snake's intestine."
The snake must have been having a bad luck on that day or may be it was really hungry that it could not differentiate between real eggs and golf balls.
However, the nice thing about this story is that the couple made an effort to save the snake who wanted to eat their chicken eggs. Most people would have killed that poor snake.
What would you do if you were the couple?

i personally hate snakes and i live in australia as well.we use to live near the reptile park and when we found snakes in our back yard i could not kill them,so i use to ring up the reptile park and get them to come up a take them.so i would have probably done what that couple did as well.cheers sue
