Giant Snake Found in Grand Forks County, Taken To Shelter

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A snake said to be 6 feet long has been corralled and taken to an animal shelter after it was spotted on a Grand Forks County road.

KNOX-AM reports the Grand Forks sheriff's office was called out around 2 p.m. Sunday to a rural road south of Grand Forks where the snake believed to be a boa constrictor was slithering along. A driver scooped up the snake and placed it in the back of an empty trailer until sheriff's deputies arrived to the scene.

The sheriff's office says the snake is likely an escapee. No other details were released.

The snake was taken to the Circle of Friends Humane Society in Grand Forks.
