Summary:
A man was arrested for biting and severely injuring a python. The python, a female, underwent surgery for wounds that were deep enough to expose the creature’s liver. Afterwards, the snake was turned over to the city’s Animal Care Services, where it was reported to be recovering, though it lost several ribs. The man said he had no memory of the incident.
