The greedy 3ft creature mistook his rear end for a tasty dish and started to gobble it up. The panic-stricken king snake quickly realised its mistake but was unable to regurgitate his tail because his backward-facing teeth had taken hold.Luckily the slimy reptile was rescued when its owner spotted it choking. The snake was taken to Seers Croft Veterinary Centre in Faygate, near Horsham, West Sussex. Exotic reptiles expert Rob Reynolds prised open the snake's mouth, then dislocated its jaw and slid out the unfortunate choice of lunch before it had been digested.
Nice to see there was a happy ending to the tail.
