Lucky for this snake, its last breaths will not be taken anywhere near a Bud Light.

Five months ago, Redditor chandalowe discovered a California Whipsnake stuck inside of a beer can. Noticing that the snake was unable to remove itself and had been cut by the can's edges, chandalowe decided to take action and free the snake.

After treating the snake with antibiotic ointment, the Redditor placed the injured creature in their son's science classroom while it healed. After five months, chandalowe posted a follow-up gallery including new images of the snake being released in the wild.

Take a look at the snake's ordeal and subsequent recovery below. Check out chandalowe's full photo album here.
