    Agree, obviously the reporter didn't know & was generalizing to the type of snake- ..."The coroner's office said it was a boa constrictor-type snake."

    Not once did I think this was actually about a boa, & snakes are so often misidentified in news stories, it's a surprise when they get it right.
