I found it was one of the top images found on the 'snake xray' google image search.

Edit: Good news! I found everyone's answer. Yes, the snake was successfully treated and released back into the wild. I farmer stated he regularly discarded burned out lights from his chicken coop. He one day found a snake with two large lumps and took it to the vet where they found lightbulbs lodged in its stomach. The vet performed surgery on the snake, removing said light bulbs. After recovering, the snake was released back into the wild.

That site has some crazy stuff, can you imagine a dog eating a steak knife!

I remember a vet program where an owner took a Jack Russell in saying it had "eaten a stick", obviously not showing up well on the xray they operated as the dog was becoming distressed and removed a stick that was basically as long as the dog! It was amazing the poor thing hadnt died, he made a full recovery.

Last weekend, I fed my male Scrub. I did not notice he had shed, as I had been away for a couple days. I gave him his rat on top of his humid hide, and then switched off the light and left the room. When I came back in about 20 minutes later he had the rat mostly swallowed as well as part of his shed. His shed was inside the humid hide, with just a bit sticking out of it which must have adhered to the rat while he was eating. I had to put on a pair of gloves so I could cut the shed and dig it out before he swallowed the whole thing. Not a light bulb or a golf ball, but it was weird in my experience.

Silly scrubby, omnoming his own shed xD

And yeah, I think I've seen a show that featured the dog that ate a steak knife. I do believe the dog went on to live a normal life after it was removed. Then again, my memory sucks.

Wow.. I can't imagine a dog eating a stick his own length.. Also couldn't imagine why or how.

Just an odd bit of advice i pass onto dog owners, NEVER throw a stick for a dog!! Back when i was just a wee lad, about thirty years ago!, i was walking the family dog in a local park. Little old lady was throwing sticks for her labrador and the stick span end over end before sticking into the mud, the poor doggy ran striaght onto the upturned dnd and impaled itself on the stick, killed it instantly. I have never thrown a stick since that day (also used to get a bit freaked out walking through that park at night after witnessing the event)
