Coming home tonight on a heavily traveled 2 lane road and come to this point where we see something in the road, as we get closer I noticed it was a snake, which I thought was DOR (dead on road). The first thing that came to my mind was "pet". Larger then any other snake ive ever seen on a road before. We went right over top of the snake and somehow the car behind us also missed it. We turned around and got back to the snake very fast, as we get back to it we stopped in the road (no cars at this point).
I jumped out and ran over to it and its then I saw it was a 4-5.5 foot red-tail boa. I pick it up and I knew then that is was very much alive, hissing alot. We luckily had a cloth bag in the car that we put it in. We got back here and the snake was not happy at all, hissing very loudly. I got a temporary tank setup and opened the bag and the snake had struck at its tail and had quite a few teeth stuck in the bag, I got all its teeth out of the bag luckily without any coming out of the snakes mouth. I put the snake in the tank and he hasnt moved since. I dont think its going to live but im keeping my fingers crossed. He hadnt been hit by a car and its not overly underweight but hes got part of his mouth open and his head is laying on the aspen and tilted to the side. Ill keep you all updated the situation, hopefully he will live.
