Authorities Say Big Snake On the Loose in Olathe

[T-post Tom]

OLATHE, KAN - Animal Control Officers in Olathe say that a large boa constrictor is on the loose, and your small pets may be in danger.

Authorities say that the snake's owner reported the six-foot red-tailed boa constrictor missing from a townhouse in the 1400 block of E. 120th Street. The owner says that the snake was last seen in its container on Tuesday night, and was missing the following morning.

Several searches have been conducted inside the residence, authorities say, but the snake has not been located.

According to experts, these types of snakes can crawl into very small spaces. Dan Lekie with the Johnson County K-State Research and Extension office advised that "a boa constrictor of this size can pose a threat to small animals; usually mice, rats or rabbits, but other small animals or pets would not be out of the question".

If you see this snake, please notify the Olathe Animal Control Unit at (913) 971-6362, or call dispatch at (913) 782-0720.

Let the levity begin...

A 6 foot boa is nothing....Female Gopher/Bullsnake nearing 7' are not uncommon in Kansas.

Boas may be a little thicker...but the only animals that I see being in danger are ALL THE DAMN RABBITS! The boa wont make it thru the winter...until then...go get the rabbit Mr. Boa!!
