I can guarantee that a deformity of that magnitude could not be corrected surgically to a satisfactory degree, and I believe it is highly unlikely that the digestive system of this python will ever function properly. I believe this snake should be put down immediately. On a general note, while it is debatable whether these types of congenital abnormalities are of environmental or genetic origin, it is imperative that snakes with even very minor physical deformities never be allowed to pass on their genes to future generations.
