Heard this on the radio and burst out laughing because of how they described it. [quote]Everyone wants to help search for a cute and cuddly lost puppy, but a Saanich, B.C., family may be having trouble rounding up a search party for its pet. That's because the missing creature is a 1.5-metre boa constrictor. Sisco slithered out of its cage sometime on the weekend and the family believes it could be roaming through the Victoria-area suburb. The family's pet ferret is also missing and Saanich Pound Inspector Derek Rees suspects the two disappearances are connected, and he doubts the ferret went willingly. But Rees says residents of southern Vancouver Island shouldn't be worried about finding a snake as thick as a fire hose twined in a neighbourhood tree. Boas are not venomous, there's a good chance this one is curled up digesting the remains of the ferret, and Rees says he would only be concerned if he were a rodent.

Boas are awesome
Had to look up what 'boa constrictor' was. Oh...
Better keep my cats in. It's gonna be fun finding it here, lots of places to hide, lots of parks, hard to access areas ect.
Is this a reliable source? The article is terribly written. It has numerous grammatical errors, and some incredibly poorly worded sentences.

Fuck. Better lock my doors and close my windows. I live there.
A Boa constrictor lived in the walls of my highschool for 3 years, it came out alive.
