A specialized wildlife park announced that a 4.5‑meter reticulated python named "Judy Foster" has fully recovered after undergoing a groundbreaking procedure called electrical chemotherapy.

Treatment Details

The technique combines conventional anti‑cancer drugs with a controlled electric current to enhance drug uptake and target malignant cells. Experts say this is the first time such a method has been applied to a reptile.

Outcomes and Future Outlook

Weeks of monitoring showed significant tumor regression and a return to normal activity, indicating a successful recovery. Researchers believe the result could pave the way for similar treatments in other non‑mammalian species.

The park confirmed ongoing studies to assess safety and broader applicability of the approach.
