DANVILLE, Pa – A couple who took their nearly 5-foot boa constrictor for a swim in a Pennsylvania river say the pet slipped away and they're concerned about its welfare.
The Bloomsburg Press Enterprise reported Thursday that Kolby and Zachary Latranyi had been swimming with the snake named Leyla last weekend in the Susquehanna River. The Latranyis say the red-tailed boa was shedding, so the swim was designed to help it remove material from its scales.

Dogs: Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! I gotta go check out the smells outside! Mommy! Mommy! mommy! I might have messages out there! Honest! And I have to glaaaare at the neighbor’s mean cat! Mommmy Mommy! Mommy!
Mine keep warning me about the savage Mongol hordes [UPS/FedEx] and wolf packs they are sure lurk with maleficence just outside the threshold.
Okay, they’re sort of right on one point...we have Eastern Wolves [aka “coyotes”] but they’re not in the yard or the goat pasture so I don’t really need to know about their every move in the woods.
:)
If you’ d read the article carefully and with some modicum of knowledge, you would know a boa of that size is a “threat” only to house mice.
lol, look everyone, it’s a thick headed snake lover who thinks a 5ft constrictor couldn’t hurt anyone. What a dolt.
I have experience, knowledge and science on my side.
You have ad hominem.
Proud of yourself?
How many 5ft constrictor snakes have you lost? Dolt
What are you?
10 years old?
Give mommy her iPhone back before she grounds you.
You didn’t answer the question. How many 5ft constrictors have you let loose?
None but what has that to do with your assertion that this snake is going to “hurt somebody”?
Non sequitur much?
So you’ve let at least 2 constrictors loose? What is wrong with you
It’s a boa, it’s not going to hurt anyone... but the owners need a butt kicking.
Um... I’m not sure where you got your information about Burmese pythons but there is absolutely no way Burms are moving north. Nice fear mongering though.
They’re homos.
They’d enjoy a ‘butt kicking’.
:D
What a dolt? The dolts are the idiots that are spewing misinformation about these snakes and don’t know anything about them. A 5 foot long boa isn’t going to eat any dogs, cats or people. Okay, maybe send it to planned parenthood and it might eat an aborted child...
A 5 foot snake is NOT that big. A 5 foot boa will eat maybe small to medium sized rats. That’s it. It’s incapable of eating a house cat, or dog, or kid. It has no interest in attacking anything that it can’t eat either. It will hide, it will eat rodents and when winter comes, it will perish. Sad that it will die that way because of morons that decided to let it swim in a river. Chances are, an opposum or raccoon will eat it before winter.
So, before insulting someone because they disagree with you, make sure you’re not talking out the wrong hole because you think your opinion is more important than fact.
“My snakes? Oh, I lost those in a boa-ting accident!”
(Rim shot)
Here, have a nightmare... this is my daughter with her pet snake Brownie. Brownie is a Boa Imperator who, when this photo was taken was about 8 feet long. At this size, she eats what we call jumbo rats. They weigh about half a pound. As you can see, my daughter is terrified at this super predator that is about to eat her... Sigh.
Seriously, a boa is not a threat to anyone.
“So you’ve let at least 2 constrictors loose? What is wrong with you”
Is there “something wrong with you” that we should all know about?
You are apparently now hallucinating freely.
It’s disturbing.
[or have you been heavily imbibing this weekend? there are really only two possibilities, here]
This one is hallucinating replies, now.
I have no idea how to even respond to *that*.
o_O
LOL!
Good ‘un, Larry.
Beats the others having...hissy fits.
