In California, you cannot bite a snake...

Spotted this in Malaysia Chronicle:

An unfortunate python underwent emergency surgery after a man in California allegedly bit it twice.

Animal control officers had to sew up a two-inch hole in the snakes belly.

"You could see the poor snake's liver, all the way down the side," said one of them.

A few of its ribs were missing.

David Senk, who allegedly bit the snake, was arrested for animal cruelty.

From jail, he told FOX40 he has no memory of biting the snake, and admits he has a drinking problem.

“I did what?”, asked Senk when questioned by FOX40’s Lonnie Wong.

"If you find the owner, tell him I'm real sorry. I'm glad the snake will be all right. I'm willing to help pay for medica expenses," said Senk.

Senk was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile. He was booked on $10,000 (RM30,000) bail.

The recuperating python could not be reached for comment.

Seems like a joke because if you were bitten by the snake instead, would it be ok?
