(DailyNews)–David Senk, 54, told KXTL-TV in an interview late last week that he has a drinking problem and has no idea how he got from a bar to a neighborhood mini-mart.
ABC News 10 reported that the snake and its distraught owner often hang out at the store – and the snake is passed around to admirers.
But Senk doesn’t remember joining the group or hurting the helpless reptile.
“I did what?” he asked the reporter. “If you find the owner, tell him I’m real sorry … I’m willing to help pay for medical expenses.”
Those expenses from the drunken biter might be steep. The female python had “extensive injuries” after Senk chomped down twice. It underwent surgery, Sacramento police Sergeant Andrew Pettit told Reuters.
“There was nothing to indicate that the snake provoked him at all. [Senk] just out of the blue took a bite,” the police spokesman told the news wire service.
“From what I understand, he didn’t say anything. He was pretty incoherent.”
The snake is reportedly doing well after having two ribs removed, ABC 10 reported.
Senk was arrested Thursday on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile.
While he expressed regret – especially after seeing the pictures of the badly injured snake – he admitted to not being a friend of the creatures.
He told KOVR that he was “not too fond of snakes [but] I try not to bite them.”
A woman claiming to be the snake’s owner, Adrienne Boulware, told ABC 10 she immediately sprang to helpless pet’s defense and attacked Senk.
“On camera I’m going to be honest,” she said. “I beat the h*** out of him”
The snake, which was dehydrated and in poor condition before the attack, is now with animal control.
