MIAMI LAKES, Fla. (WFLA/WTVJ) – Snakes are pretty common here in Florida, but how do you get rid of a big one?
Apparently… with a big stick.
Someone from the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Venom Response Unit answered the call Wednesday and brought the right tool, a pole with a curved end.
After all, you don’t want to get too close to a 7-foot long red-tailed boa constrictor!
Officials found the massive snake hiding in a grassy area and pulled it out in the open where it could be captured and stuffed in a bag.
Boas are not native to the area and speculation is it was someone’s pet.
