This was on the local Boston news today

looks like they kept it...at least they didn't smack it with the axe, poor snake!

I'm also glad they didn't simply call it a 'Python' and make it out to be a future monster that could eventually kill someone. That seemed like it was handled pretty well to me.

thank god for smart people!!! finally someone finding a snake and not killing it... yea they didnt know what kind it was... but what can you expect? baby steps!!

nice lesser. thank God they didnt kill it..and look how calm he is hope they find the owner he is really nice looking snake.

Is there a pic? I don't see one.

great to see it still looked darn healthy for being lost for 6 months

looks like a normal to me, but either way lucky snake.

Yeah looks like a very pretty normal. He is beautiful!! Glad they didn't chop it's head off or fillet it open like most people would. Seems like a very nice snake that didn't have any problem living in the attic for half a year!

Good looking normal :)

“I was just gonna hit it with an axe or something, but it was a boa constrictor,” said Ed Oliveira, the roommate.

DOH

very nice normal.. did anyone watch the video?? the ax comment sounded like it was more of a joke, and they guy followed it up with "but it was just a boa constrictor" as in.. harmless little boa..


These dudes are funny.. "he grabbed it lightly, and gently" .. "I grabbed it, all manly like"

ha ha ha ha ha

I laughed so hard when they said that in the video.

I thought the coverage was very fair to the BP. Part of the reason though was because those 2 guys were such characters that they provided the entertainment factor for the story. If the person that found it was terrified and hated snakes, then the coverage may have turned into a "killer monster snake" story.

Much respect to the guy that grabbed the snake. It took a lot of guts to do that assuming that he didn't have any prior experience with snakes.

Well I'm glad it turned out well for the snake, thank goodness the neighbors didn't let them hurt it.

And what's with the comment ?
“I was just gonna hit it with an axe or something, but it was a boa constrictor,” said Ed Oliveira, the roommate.

So because it was a boa, it's what ? Gonna dodge the axe and eat you anyway ? It's made of steel and the axe wouldn't hurt it ? It would swallow you axe and all ?

I hope for the sake of that lovely animal, the neighbor can contact the owner and return it. I bet the owner was heartbroken and thought he'd never see it again.

Great ending to a great story!!!
