A snake has been saved by surgery after mistaking four golf balls for a meal of chicken eggs.
</P><DIV id="intelliTXT"><P class="article">
A couple had placed the balls in their chicken coup at Nobbys Creek in New South Wales state to encourage their hen to nest.
</P><P class="article">
They found the eggs missing last month and a lumpy carpet python nearby.
</P><P class="article">
They took the 80-centimeter (32-inch) non-venomous snake to the nearby Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where senior veterinarian Michael Pyne operated to remove the balls from the snake's intestine.

Pyne said the snake was making a speedy recovery.
</P><P class="article">
'Those golf balls weren't moving any further; they were stuck where they were,' Pyne said.
</P><P class="article">
'If it hadn't been found, it would have died for sure,' he added.
