KTVB (Boise, Idaho) 01 September 06 Snake that ate electric blanket recovering (Aylson Oüten)
Sun Valley: It made news all over the world - the Sun Valley snake that ate a queen-sized electric blanket.
Well, we have an update for you on the Burmese python. His owner says "Houdini" is making a full recovery from the ordeal.
Last month, two Ketchum veterinarians operated on the 12-foot snake to remove the blanket Houdini accidentally consumed while eating his dinner.
Six weeks later, the snake is finally allowed to eat again - technically, his first meal in three months since his last feast was removed along with the blanket.
Houdini’s owner did buy him a new blanket, but now removes that from the snake's cage before his feedings.
