A massive boa constrictor has been captured by the Thames

If you went down to the Thames this weekend, you’d have been in for a big surprise! A five-foot-long boa constrictor was found snaking its way through the undergrowth in Barnes, Richmond upon Thames. 
Before it was able to find a suitable snack, it was picked up by the local RSPCA service, who believe it was an abandoned pet rather than a stray. The reptile was found to be in good condition and taken to a rescue centre where it will receive specialist care… and presumably a mouse or two.
At least he/she didn’t make it down to Heathrow. We’ve got enough travel problems right now without snakes on a plane, right Samuel L?
Like the idea of getting up close to exotic animals (preferably in cages)? Volunteer at London Zoo.
