Imagine hearing rustling in your attic, only to discover a 6-foot boa constrictor up there. It happened to man in Florida. Bob van der Herchen’s son often complained about hearing noises in the attic but he blamed them on Rats.
After years of complaining of noises in the attic Bob van der Herchen’s son became suspicious and wanted to investigate. He found the boa – over 6 feet long – hiding among insulation. A snake trapper said the boa may have been in the home for anywhere from two to four years.
Bob van der Herchen told WFLA he thinks the snake was someone’s pet and got loose. He believes the reptile gained access to his home via an overgrown tree branch.
The trapper that removed the snake is looking to find a new home for the boa.
