A few weeks ago we found a kingsnake in the canefields of Palm Beach County, FL that had an unusual lump in its stomach. At first the snake looked deformed, but after feeling the area, we discovered it had swallowed what felt like a 4 inch bolt.
We figured the snake would probably die if we left it like that. We palpated the object out of the snake's stomach and out its mouth.
A stick!
We figured the snake had consumed the stick by accident while invading a rodent's nest. It would be interesting to know whether he would have eventually passed or regurgitated the stick.

However, we would have to worry about our own butts then!!! My Sand kings are on mice already. Fastest growing snakes I have ever seen.
