Man arrested for biting pet python twice

Sacramento, California - Police were called to the northern part of the city expecting to respond to an assault. While officers were speaking to David Senk, 54, found lying at the scene, a witness accused him of taking two bites out of the snake. The python is recovering after being given emergency surgery. It was turned over to the city’s Animal Care Services after losing a few ribs. “She’s doing well,” Gina Knepp, acting animal care services manager, told the Sacramento Bee. “We did surgery on her last night and I think we saved her life.” Mr Senk was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile.  More
