I remember reading an article a while back about the Bushmaser, the largest poisonous snake in North and South America, but don’t remeber the publication. Anyway, this guy was doing various nature studies in Costa Rica, found himself a “nice Boa Constrictor,” picked it up without any trouble and took it back to camp, where it was promptly identified as a Bushmaster!!! DUH!!! Sometimes poisonous snakes aren’t all tha hostile.
I actually thought mine was a lost pet, someone’s boa constrictor as well. That is why I offered it to the neighbor.
