A veterinarian has saved the life of a eastern brown snake after he pulled three poisoned rats out of its stomach, according to Daily Mail Australia.
The video shows Dr Jonathon Howard pushing three dead rats through the body of the snake and pulling them out of its mouth one-by-one.
The snake was brought into the clinic in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, by a resident who was concerned for the snake’s well-being after he started poisoning rats near his home.
The video begins with Dr Howard holding the anaesthetised snake and slowly pushing the first rat up the snake’s body and towards its mouth.
As the rat moves into the mouth of the snake, its curled-up tail flops out and its hind legs emerge.
Dr Howard picks up a pair of tweezers and grabs the rat’s legs and slowly pulls it out of the snake.
