Florida man finds five-foot boa constrictor inside new couch

[marmar]

The crazier side of the internet has been on the "nefarious things are hiding inside furniture" for quite a while. Q adherents might be disappointed to learn that a Florida man did find something inside his new couch: a five-foot boa constrictor.

Clearwater Police shared that they were called to a condo to remove a red tail boa from a recently purchased couch. CPD wrote on Facebook that they "extracted it from its hiding place" and took it to a local pet store.

"The man just got the couch the other day and he thinks the snake was hiding in the couch when it came to his house," the cops wrote. " Officers also carried the couch back in the residence for the man. It’s a jungle out there sometimes." .............(more)

3. A long, long time ago...

…around ‘78, my sister’s boa constrictor escaped its aquarium, and we couldn’t find it anywhere. It had happened once before for about 2 or 3 months, and we found it in a hanging plant.
This time, we were moving and were hoping to find it up until the last box was removed. No luck.
We think it might have crawled inside the wall through an outlet that didn’t have a plate.

I always thought about what the new tenants would do when he suddenly appeared in their house one day.

Poor Socrates, it could not end up well for him.

4. when you mentioned the boa getting into the wall and possibly emerging with new tenants there,

I couldn't help but think of that 70s movie Bad Ronald.
