Snakes Alive – A hungry king snake saw something move and went for. Once it started eating there was no way back for the victim. . . or was there. Luckily the unnamed owner saw that the snake had taken its own tale for a meal and rushed him to Vet Rob Reynolds at Seers Croft Veterinary Surgery, Nr Crawley, Sussex, for help, who immediately dislocated its jaw. Once the snake starts swallowing it is hard to regurgitate as the backward-facing teeth grip the skin like a ratchet. The tail was gently slid out and, because it had not been inside long enough for digestion to start, the snake did well and is now recovering.
