Boa Constrictor

Adam and I see snakes every now and then here in Haiti.  I am really not a fan, but I don't mind them that much if they aren't poisonous.  (The few times I saw Rattlers back in SD I hated it.) 

After seeing a few we asked if there are any poisonous snakes.  We were pleased to hear there aren't.  Until the night of January 23rd when I discovered that although there aren't poisonous snakes there are deadly ones.

This is the boa constrictor I saw that night.
He is suffocating a frog.
The pole he is on is the railing of our stair case.
Unfortunately the railing is hollow, so that is where he went into hide.

Note:  Our camera went missing, so I couldn't take a good quality pictures.

I am SO jealous I didn't see him! Maybe I still will! : )

WOW! That gave me chills. I do not like snakes especially those snakes! Hope Samson takes care of that for you. :)

The only positive thought I have is that maybe it will kill the rats.
