Python That Swallowed 4 Golf Balls

What a poor old Python, mistook a few golf balls for eggs. These balls couldn't be digested, so they sat there in the Python's body until vets came to the rescue and removed the balls by surgery. I'm sure this will teach the snake not to eat anyones eggs again! Here are some pictures (one gross one was removed, don't worry)...

An x-ray of the body, the big circles are the balls
