Pet snake gets stuck in woman's stretched earlobe

Glawe said the Ball Python snake, named Bart, was too big to fit all the way through her lobe, and she was unable to extract it on her own. Glawe further explained that she wears gages in her earlobes but had taken them out.

...

A friend informed concerned commenters that doctors at Portland Adventist Hospital made a slight cut in Glawe’s ear and used Vaseline while further stretching the lobe with a plastic tool so that the snake could wiggle out. Glawe told another commenter that her ear was numbed before the procedure and that the experience hurt “a little,” but Bart was unharmed.

I thought the snake was a significant improvement.

Definitely another millennial doing their normal ‘ Look at me! Look at me!’ but here its ‘Look at me! Look at me! I am really really stupid! I make Bevis & Butthead look like theoretical physicists!’

How would you like to take that home and meet you folks?
“Mom & Dad this is Ashley, Ashley meet Mom & Dad. (pause)
Yes that’s a snake in her ear. (another pause) Well its not poisonous!... Right Ashley? ....What do you mean you don’t know?”

It appears the snake made it through up until the fat place where it’s last meal is still being digested.

Unfortunately she is representative of what you will see a lot of in Portland.

Damn, I wish I hadn't clicked on this article. The headline should have been enough...

I feel sorry for the snake!
To have such a narcissistic butthole for an owner!

Send her down to Florida to catch them big rock pythons.

Considering that 99% of reptiles carry salmonella on their skin, this idiot is lucky she isn’t dead.

Ball pythons are normally very thick-bodies in the middle, whether digesting or not. How could she not notice that?

They make great pets if you're into snakes -- docile, non-aggressive, slow moving, and cheap to fit. (At least ours is, since he usually stops eating altogether between November and March).

Maybe we should just bring back circus side shows.

Adder to the list of weirdos.

Yeah, that's right...I said it.
