She's doing well," said Gina E. Knepp, acting animal care services manager for the City of Sacramento. "We did surgery on her last night and I think we saved her life."

The snake is being treated after receiving stitches. The python lost a couple of ribs, Knepp said.

The snake is drinking a lot of water and receiving antibiotics.

Details on why anyone would bite the snake were not immediately available.
