Snake alert: 5 1/2-foot long boa constrictor on the loose in Saugus
By adamg on Sun, 08/26/2018 - 10:12am
UPDATE: The snake has been found and is back home; Saugus is safe for teacup poodles again.
Brenda Sweetland reports her son's boa constrictor escaped somehow yesterday. It was last spotted by her mailman scrunched up next to a house on Richard Street near Dudley Street.
I need to get word to people who have small pets. Sorry for this inconvenience to anyone. Please let me know if you happen to see her.

You shouldn't get your pet back.
Give it to a zoo or something.
What about kids safety?? Take that damn snake away!!!!
Seriously! who lets their kid have a snake...Take the damn snake away - clearly cant keep track of it and you shouldn't be anymore.. what about small kids????? only worried about small pets?! what an idiot!
dogs are a lot more dangerous than snakes
who lets their kid have a dog?
Snakes aren't exactly a
Snakes aren't exactly a "family pet" like a cat or dog. They're more like zoo animals which you cage and look at, but don't bond with.
Nope
I think the many, many herpetologists and in specific, snake fans, would disagree with you about what constitutes a family pet and the ability to bond with non-traditional family pets.
They're not my type of pet, but I'm not going to stop my friends who enjoy their snakes and turtles and other reptiles.
Really?
A 5 foot snake can't eat a child, and won't see a child as prey. Maybe you should reserve your freakouts for things that are actual threats.
Found
Found as of about an hour ago, per a comment on her FB post.
Did anyone notice?

Are you being serious?

Beautiful snek
glad the danger noodle got back home safe.
hopefully they build her a bigger habitat soon tho.
LIES
This was the biggest lie of a story - they lost that snake weeks before it was reported missing. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see...
