US woman finds 7-foot long snake slithering on her lawn, gets a shock

A woman from Brecksville in the US, Meredith Black, found a seven-foot-long boa constrictor slithering on the lawn in front of her house on September 16. Black reported that the snake was so large and heavy that it left a visible path near homes and flattened the grass as well. She immediately called for assistance from the Brecksville Police and Brecksville Fire Department, who were able to keep the snake restrained. Animal control officers were also reportedly present at the location. The snake was so huge that they needed a large barrel to wrangle the snake.

The executive director and founder of the NGO allegedly claimed that the snake weighed about 10kgs and was between six to ten years and was healthy. It is suspected by the authorities that the snake might have been either dumped in a nearby park by an owner who no longer wished to take care of the snake or wasn't able to take care of the snake. The non-profit also posted a picture on their Facebook page. It is also reported that the NGO will eventually place the boa constrictor up for adoption as the snake seemed to be healthy and friendly toward people.
