Update: victim found. Need Snake identification. Warning facebook link inside

I thought it was fake too, until I saw the Croc shoes.

Escaped columbian boa (Boa constrictor constrictor).

when i lived in Thailand, I was walking down the road kinda drunk one night in our little neighborhood deal and there was a big log in the street...

I stepped on the log as I walked over it and my foot slipped off as it moved. Holy shite, it was about a 15 ft long python. Scared the shite out of me.

Saw another one a few weeks later that was about 10 feet.

yep, its a good thing though, theres millions of just wild fricking dogs there just roaming the streets

got some population control

I seriously need to improve my snake id'ing. Cuz that SOB would've got 15 rounds of Critical Duty.

I am going look with 000 buck shot and gonna make sure I'm a good 40 foot away from that big sonuvabitch before I shoot.

First victim has been found.


I rode down the service road and it looks like it could've been from that road. No white lines, and there were several areas that looked like in the video.

That's a bigass Boa right there, baw. I would pay good money for the chance to catch a fricker like that in the wild - though I'm sure that one is pretty tame since it had to be a pet (though a pet with a taste of freedom). I'm guessing it didn't escape - it probably just outgrew it's owner and they didn't want to fool with it anymore (unless, obviously, someone reported it missing).

ETA: Raceland is like heaven for a snake hunter (i.e., snake catcher). In dental school I had a patient from there. I made the long drive down there and she and her cousin took me on an hour-long trek through the swamp to see a Bald Eagle's nest. I made several trips back in subsequent years and caught many a snake and several small gators. It was like heaven to me - some of the most memorable experiences of my lifetime. On one trip we saw over two dozen Cottonmouths (I've posted pics on here before from that trip). That snake will be a happy camper if he can survive the winter.
