Still Waters Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Meet the snake who just could not handle this particularly undigestible meal – a doorknob. The western rat snake needed a stomach operation to remove the doorknob after swallowing it in a garden in Ballwin, Missouri. The animal used to catch rodents outside a family’s chicken coup, where they had placed an old white doorknob on the ground as a “dummy egg” to encourage hens to lay. But when they returned they found the snake sprawled out on the ground with an enormous doorknob shaped bump in its stomach. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/this-snake-swallowed-a-doorknob-and-just-could-not-handle-it-121849972.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted December 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Ha ha, I use to have chickens and I would put plastic eggs in the nest to get them to use it. One by one they slowly disappeared. Never caught them but I figured a snake ate them. We have lots of snakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
