Missing boa constrictor puts town on alert

Talk about it

People living in Delafield are keeping a wary eye on high grass and looking up into tree limbs overhead from time to time. A boa constrictor is missing.

The 4-foot female snake was left in its owner's car Saturday, July 16, while he was inside a Game Stop store with a friend. He says he left all four windows partially open.

When he returned, the snake was gone. It could have slithered out the window, but Sam Ruzga says it never did that before. It could have been stolen.

People living in the area were advised when police used a 911 reverse call system to warn them. Anyone seeing the two year old snake is asked to call police. It is black, with grayish-brown spots and a red tail.
