PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) - Prattville police are investigating thetheft of $10,000 worth of boa constrictors.
Police Chief Alfred Wadsworth said Friday that a Prattville man
reported someone stole 22 Amazon Tree Boas and 21 plastic
containers valued at about $90. Jacob Brooks said they were taken
from a storage shed behind his home.
Wadsworth said, "We contacted the conservation department and
confirmed the snakes aren't poisonous. Since the containers that
held the snakes were also stolen, we think this is a legitimate
theft case."
Constrictors kill their prey by squeezing.
Brooks said he was breeding the snakes to sell to other
hobbyists.
