A Man was found dead today in his house with a 13 foot boa rapped around his neck.

To date, no boa has ever killed a human being......pythons are a different story.

I hate moron reporters as I said in the thread below this one. I saw another article from the same area that it was a Ball Python. I'd like to see a 7ft. Ball, much less 13.

Idiots need to be corrected, I think a letter to the editor is in order.

BOAS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE, Large Pythons do.

Not to be an ass, but handling a 13 foot snake of any species ALONE.... well...... respect is earned, not given.

you know what makes it even worse??!!??!! i just saw a report on this incident on my local news here in northern WV and it's bad enough around here as far as herp-haters go!! i don't know how many of my co-workers have tried to tell me i'll end up getting killed by my colombian rainbow boas!! LMAO!! my crb's won't be half the size to kill me!! i mean, for **** sake man, it's bad enough when i have people who think anything without legs around here is a copperhead! now people are led to believe something as harmless as a boa constrictor is deadly. guess i'll have to distribute my phone number everywhere in my area to rescue the garters, ringnecks, and black rats from ignorant idiots!

You keep playing with your snake like that you'll go blind

actually that's 2 juvie CRB's! and it's ok, i don't think i could ever go blind enough to not see their sheen when the sun hit them.
