Should have let the boa have it. It's only fair. The damn cats are a menace to nature and wildlife. They decimate whole neighborhoods they are in. Not to mention crapping in everyone elses yard.

FYI the Boa's have become a HUGE problem in FL, challenging the Gator as top predator, people buy 'em to be "cool" them when it gets to big and a threat to the pets and kids they find a swamp and release them. Most of FL is just fine for constrictor snakes, one was found living under a trailer, it was eating neighborhood poodles "like marshmallows",22 ft long 250+lbs.

I knew a guy that had one that took up a whole bedroom. Thing was massive and it was scary as heck just standing in the doorway looking in. I have no idea what would happen if it would have grabbed you. I didn't want to find out.

I don't see the point of a boa as a pet, it doesn't "like" you more or less than any other creature, it only sizes you up as a potential meal..

That's probably how it is with a lot of animals we keep as pets.

"Dammit, this big thing is all pink, soft, meaty, and defenseless. If only I was bigger, then I could eat it."

But at least mammals FAKE affection for us. That makes them as good as any of our human friends, and better than most.

Ramming them onto sticks and sticking them into fires?

Reminder, unwrap from the tail. You also don't want to pull it's mouth off like that; it's teeth point backwards.

Crazy, you could hear the cat losing lung capacity with each breath, it was almost done with that last meow.
