A Californian man has been arrested for biting a pet python twice, leaving it seriously hurt, police say.

Police found David Senk, 54, lying at the scene, where 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,” BBC News quoted Gina Knepp, acting animal care services manager, as telling 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.

While in jail, Mr Senk told local media that he had no memory of the incident and that he had a drinking problem.

‘I did what?’ Mr Senk said. “If you find the owner, tell him I’m real sorry. ... I’m willing to help pay for medical expenses.”

No owner has come forward to claim the python from Sacramento’s Animal Care Services.

Ms Knepp said before the surgery that the bites on the three-foot snake were large enough to expose the animal’s liver.

A leaky ceiling in a Brooklyn apartment building turned out to be a python taking a bath in a sink.

A 10-foot python found some shelter from the storm Sunday in the bathroom sink of a Brooklyn apartment, cops said.

A tenant on the seventh floor of the Howard Houses on Mother Gaston Blvd. in Brownsville complained to NYCHA employees that water was seeping through the ceiling about 9:50 a.m., cops said.

Workers showed up to check on the leak and found the water was coming from an apartment above on the eighth floor, but no one was home, police said.

The NYCHA workers got inside and found a pool of water in the bathroom, but retreated from the overflowing sink when they spotted the colossal reptile coiled in the porcelain basin, police said.

The shaken workers called the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit to remove the python, which is illegal to own as a pet in the city, cops said.

The 2-year-old snake was taken to a city Animal Care & Control shelter in Brooklyn, a spokesman and police said.

Staff at the AC&C were still taking in animals in response to Tropical Storm Irene, which left many homes underwater in parts of Queens and Staten Island, said spokesman Richard Gentles.
