It was the agency’s mechanic who made this surprising discovery. Faced with the unexpected presence of the snake, an urgent call was made to a specialist in hunting exotic animals in order to deal with the situation safely. Russell Cavender, known for his work with reptiles, shared his unusual experience in a Facebook post.

“I’ve found a lot of things under the hoods of cars over the years. Skunks, mice, squirrels, different snakes, but I’ve never found an 8-foot-long albino boa constrictor.”
It is worth noting that although boas are not venomous, they have extremely powerful fangs, capable of causing major physical injury.
In an interview with TV station WMBF, Cavender said he would temporarily care for the snake until a possible person responsible for the animal emerged.
If no keeper comes forward, the boa constrictor will be moved to a suitable shelter. This extraordinary story serves as a reminder that nature often surprises us and makes us wonder where wild creatures can find shelter, even in unexpected places.
