Archwell Maramba said he had been eating the snake meat for its medicinal value.
"I wanted to eat the python to cure my spine and since I ate my first python I have seen remarkable improvement," NewsDay quoted Maramba as saying during his court case.
Acting on a tipoff, police found the 58-year-old drying snakeskin and python meat stashed in his house.
