Robert Irwin goes viral for rescuing snake trapped in vending machine Robert, who is one of the zoo keepers at Australia Zoo, was alerted to a carpet python stuck inside one of the vending machines. Irwin drove to the vending machine and peered through it, noticing the snake lazily curled around Coke bottles. With the help of a vending machine technician, the zookeeper was able to slowly guide the creature away from the wiring. Obviously, with a snake, Irwin was careful to not upset the python, but eventually was able to carefully sling the snake out of the vending machine. Irwin pointed out a previous injury the snake had on its tail, claiming that \u201cthis bloke has obviously got a spirit of getting himself caught in weird situations, cause he\u2019s missing the end of his tail, and that\u2019s an old injury, so this is a long time ago.\u201d The zookeeper announced that they\u2019d be relocating the snake to close off the TikTok, which has amassed over 1.7 million likes at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Irwin\u2019s son goes viral for rescuing python stuck in vending machine Instagram: robertirwinphotographySteve Irwin\u2019s son Robert Irwin has gone viral on TikTok after he showcased himself saving a carpet python from a vending machine at Australia Zoo.
