A large reticulated python made a notable recovery after undergoing a groundbreaking treatment. The python, weighing 110 pounds, had been diagnosed with a malignant tumor in its jaw. Initially, the tumor was removed surgically, but it returned and began invading the jawbone.

The zoo where the python resides collaborated with nearby specialists to adapt a treatment typically used for humans. This emerging treatment was used for the first time on a snake.

Further details about the python's recovery and treatment are available from the source, including information about the python's age and the zoo where it lives.
