Seventeen-year-old Ashley Glawe, of Oregon, was rushed to the hospital after her pet python Bart slithered through her stretch-pierced earlobe as she was taking selfies and became stuck.
"I kind of went into shock," she told local media about the January incident. "I started shaking."

Firefighters were also unable to help and she was finally taken to the hospital, where staff numbed her ear and used lubricant to extract the snake.
