A Clearwater Florida police officer answered an emergency call from a resident requesting for help to remove a five foot boa constrictor who was on top of an auto hood on Sunday October 12. The female police officer used a snake hook to remove the boa constrictor who was in need of water to drink from the top of the auto hood and take the boa constrictor to a local pet store where the boa constrictor will hopefully find a new home soon.

Why do people call the police? Call animal control.

I worked for a pest control company in Wisconsin called Batzner. Someone once asked me, "What do you do for snakes?" I gave them the number for Orkin. lol

I would avoid snakes as a pet at all costs.

I wonder if the officer had been trained on how to handle snakes.

I am sure that the police in Florida are trained to handle snakes.

Just as well the resident noticed the snake before he drove off in his car, as a snake falling through the auto hood, while you are driving, onto your lap, might cause an accident to occur.
