PALM BEACH, Florida (WPBF) — A couple that professionally captures snakes in Florida was called out to a house to rescue what one family thought was an albino python, but turned out to be a massive boa constrictor.
The man can be heard on the video saying he can tell it is a boa and was probably a pet because it is so big. He doesn’t believe it had gone very far from its original home.
After being caught, the snake is measured at 9 feet, 5 inches long, and it weighed 52.6 pounds.
While pythons are invasive species in Florida, boa constrictors aren’t, according to FWC. They aren’t native to the area, though.
