Seems like an animal that wasn't getting the respect it deserves. I guess you have to be drunk to be killed by a 25lbs constrictor right? Im not saying Boas pose a threat but havent recent events shown their dangerous potential? This guy could of only had seconds to react. If you get complacent with 25lbs of snake around your neck it doesnt matter if its a Red Tail or a Corn snake. It just seems that because its a "Boa" you should take no precautions. But its just an observation...
