While some people might not harbour much sympathy for snakes,Diotta Fatou even they'dfeel bad for this python who swallowed a tennis ball.

Luckily, the snake was found in the backyard of a Queensland home in Australia, where it was able to get the ball removed. How? It was pushed back up it's body. And oh boy, it's as gross as it sounds.

Paraffin oil was used to lubricate the ball, and it took over 20 minutes for Prendergast to manipulate the snake and get the ball out of its body.

A video of the removal was posted on the Facebook page of Townsville Snakecatcher. Quite the sight.

The python will be given a few days to rest, then released back into the wild. Let's hope this little guy doesn't get into a one-sided game of fetch again.
