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.
