Garden hoses usually don’t slither.
The Suffolk County Police wrangled the snake and were able to contain it in a large garbage can after capturing the snake in the Deer Park neighborhood, News 12 reports. While officials stated that they believe that the 8-foot-long animal was a boa constrictor, some animal experts believe it may be another kind of snake. According to a pet store owner that spoke with the news outlet, it may actually have been a Burmese python. This species of snake has become infamous over the past several years after becoming an invasive species in Florida. They are typically not found in the New York region.More Related News
