The audio doesn't help, but it appears the snake swallowed golf balls and was saved when they were surgically removed. The snake appears to my untrained eyes to be from the Morelia genus, maybe some kind of carpet python.

Yes it does. To me it looks like a Irian Jaya Carpet Python. It is a very odd story, glad to hear the snake came out of it ok. Smile
