Woman cut off and swallowed pet snakes’ heads

A loner pet owner who drunkenly decapitated her two snakes with scissors before swallowing their heads has escaped jail.

Jennifer Lampe, 28, was discovered by police with the still-moving but headless body of her boa constrictor around her neck and both reptiles’ severed heads in her trouser pockets.

She had “vomited up” the heads after swallowing them, telling animal inspectors she had “wanted to keep them”.
