Just heard on my local news that a man was killed by his 13 ft boa constrictor. Dont know where or any other details, but this is really going to fuel those anti herp minded masses.

That is NOT accurate. I saw another article from the same area written that it was a BALL PYTHON, which OBVIOUSLY do not grow that large.

There is only one 13ft. Boa in the US, a Guyanan that is fairly well known. Most likely it was a Burmese Python, I hate the moronic press.
