[muriel_volestrangler]

Do you know where your towel is? Maybe it's in your pet python, inevitably called 'Monty':

It could have been the end for Monty the jungle carpet python, who got a bit peckish recently and decided to eat an entire beach towel.

Footage of vet Dr Olivia Clarke and her team extracting it from Monty's stomach was posted online and went viral.

Speaking to the BBC, Dr Clarke explains how she saved Monty's life when she was brought into her surgery in Sydney.

and is now eating her normal diet.

5. That had to be entirely

horrible for Monty! I hope she sticks to her regular diet (I know I know, I used to work at the zoo and took care of some big ones!).
