BOA CONSTRICTOR ON THE LOOSE IN MERSEYSIDE!

A 5ft boa constrictor is on the loose after escaping from a house in Huyton, Liverpool. The public have been warned to look out for the pet called ‘Petzi’. Police have warned the public not to approach the snake if they spot it. Now that’s a pretty pointless warning don’t you think? Only a high-end cobbler would bother approaching Petzi, and no doubt with a stun gun to hand! Meanwhile the local community is living in fear. Petzi has a STRANGLEHOLD on that! Since the boa kills by asphyxiation, asthma sufferers have been warned to stay indoors until the snake is caught or cobbled!

Portsmouth, present day. A Boa constrictor is on the loose in the city centre after being thrown into a hedge when a taxi driver refused to allow it in his cab. Naturally the snake was not unattended. What kind of person would blithely chuck a boa into a hedge to prey on, or to be preyed upon? This coming so soon after two precious boys were killed by a python in Canada reconfirms my belief that snakes should not be in private hands, but in zoos alone!

A Mexican King Snake emerged from a drain in the back garden of a house in Cleethorpes. Householder, a Mr Peck took the unwelcome guest to a local snake shop, Medusa’s Reptiles.
