Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Q.R. — Civil Protection personnel were requested in a private home’s back yard Tuesday in Felipe Carrillo Puerto. Authorities were called when a man found a large boa wrapped around a pole on his property.
Authorities went to an address in the Plan de Ayala neighborhood where they located a boa measuring more than two meters in length still in the backyard on 40th Street.
Firemen from Civil Protection tried several times to capture the snake, which they reported to be approximately 2.5-meter-long. After several attempts, the snake was caught and relocated outside the town.
Civil Protection says snake sightings are more common during the rainy season when the reptiles search for drier, undisturbed spaces.
