The proprietor of a rainbow boa constrictor stopped at a Walmart Supercenter in Lacey, Washington to wash the animal’s cage. Whereas the pet proprietor was inside the shop with the cage, the boa managed to get away, in line with The Olympian. Somebody noticed the snake, referred to as 9-1-1, and Lacey police managed to apprehend the slithery suspect.

If that is your pet, it’s ssssssafe & sound at Animal Companies!”
Although the police division claimed the officers have been glad to say goodbye to the rainbow boa when animal companies arrived, they sort of seem like they’re having fun with it. Lacey PD posted two pictures of officers posing with the boa wrapped round their arms with large smiles on their faces.
