Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Of the spcies of snake, I don't know.
As for the golf balls, the thing that caught my eye is that they are completely opaque in the xray. True, the particular shot may have been a low dose or something and a soft item may show up as opaque.
I found this on google somewhere. I would guess that it would be possible for some sort of snake to eat a golf ball, but since their mad food location skillz are in the heat sensors and the "smell" I would wonder how bored a snake must be to do so. (when trying to get a WC emerald to eat a room temperature thawed rat is difficult)

Maybe this python was confused, but you want to hear something even weirder?

Snake Ball Fetches Record Price
January 15, 2008
The EBay auction of the golf balls surgically removed from a python has fetched $1401 Australian. (about $1200 US).
FOUR golf balls surgically removed from a python which swallowed them thinking they were hen eggs have been sold for $1401.
More than 500 eBay bidders from around the world were watching the auction which raised money for the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s new community wildlife hospital on the Gold Coast.

LOL, that's just TOO weird.
I guessed that it had perhaps thought they were eggs, and apparently I was correct....and it's cool that the money went to a wildlife sanctuary....but who would spend that kind of money for golf balls??? I'm going to guess it was purely philanthropic and had nothing to do with the golf balls themselves, lol.

Cool Jim, thank you! I thought it was some type of Carpet, but I really wasn't sure.
That's one lucky snake.
