Boa Constrictor=Sidewinder?

goini04 Jun 28, 2005 03:07 PM

Yet another load of crap from our friends the "news" reporters!

"It was quite a zoo this morning down in south Toledo. Neighbors were sent scrambling after a five-foot-long boa constricter got loose.

Toledo police and folks from Wildlife Unlimited were called out to Curtis Street after a woman said the snake tried to get into her car. The sidewinder succeeded and slithered its way up and under the car, which had neighbors acting fast. They finally got the small serpent out.

People from Wildlife Unlimited, which handle exotic pets, say they'll hang on to it until somebody claims it."

He may have been using the "sidewinder" as an adjective. And technically you could call any snake a sidewinder... you just need 12 beers and a little push to the side to help start your staggering. Next time he should use a better adjective... something along the lines of furry would work well.
