Firefighters kill snake [pet boa constrictor] that was biting woman's face

[redshepherd]

I have a 5 ft male ball that I know can crank down enough on my neck to make me pass out if I let him. I imagine a boa is even stronger. This is why I wonder what makes people think they can control a burm or a retic alone. I want to beat my head against the wall when these types of animals are sold to inexperienced people.

Boas proportionately are much longer, so a 5 ft boa would be much thinner than a 5 foot ball, I imagine. But seriously, those people who get a large species alone are missing a screw and apparently didn't care to do research on what they're getting into.

and lol I'm also guilty of having snakes around my neck if I'm cleaning, but I keep them from wrapping around.
