Out of all the stuff that can go wrong in Florida, finding out that a snake has been hiding out in your attic is probably low on the list.
Bob van der Herchen recently had the pleasure of discovering a 6-foot boa constrictor living in the attic of his home in Englewood, Florida, rent free. According to WFLA, van der Herchen’s son and wife often complained about noise coming from the attic, but he payed no attention to it.
“He used to complain he’d hear sounds in the attic. I didn’t think much of it, I thought maybe it was rats,” van der Herchen told WFLA.
Just rats, nothing to see here.
Well, the attic intruder was actually a massive snake. A snake trapper helped the family safely remove the boa from the attic, and in the process found it had shed some skin. The man estimates the snake had been living in the attic for years.
Nope, Nope, Nope.
Snakes are in the same nightmare league as Sharks, Deep Water and my ex-mother in law. Lots of nope.
Just one reason I want to move to Ireland: St Patrick Eradicated Snakes or something like that which is why we get wasted on St Paddy’s Day and celebrate the fact all those little fuckers are gone.
If that Boa made its way into the house, someone dies and the fact it was sleeping above his wife’s lazy boy for years, gives me the chills.
