Hey Jimmy, that is 100% pure S. FL burm! Way back in 88 I think, Todd Hardvick did pull a 21', 200 pound retic out from under someone's house. I also got called out to capture what the cops called a 6' python. This was back in 91 or 92 when I worked at a pet shop in Boca Raton, FL and was known around town as the reptile guy. Anyway, I show up at this house and the cops and homeowner pointed me in the direction of some palmetto on the side of the house and said the snake was in there. Of course, they were all out on the road. When I looked in I saw an absolutely monstrous head of a very pissed off boa constrictor. After going in with a garbage can lid as a shield and wrestling it out, it took 3 adults to stretch her out and she measured right around 10 feet. What a bruiser! Wish I had pics of that one! Bottom line is, they are out there for sure down here in paradise. Billy
