Animal Control officers deal mostly with stray dogs and cats, but occasionally have a wild card dealt to them. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that this month it was a boa constrictor, about five feet long.
Powell took the snake to the animal control facility in Green River which has a heat lamp and an enclosure.
Exotic pets that escape or are released by owners are a serious problem in some parts of the country particularly Florida where authorities have verified that over 50 types of non-native reptiles and amphibians have become established as evasive species.
