Boa

Last night, while my sister and my father were on a walk down the beach the ran into something very unexpected. My sister was walking a little infront of my dad and she saw a dark line that she thought was just a stick. The darkness inhibited her from seeing that it was actually a Boa Constrictor. My dad's flashlight shone on it and he realized what they had stumbled across. He pinned the snake's head down with a stick and picked it up carefully. Bringing it back to the house, he gave my mom quite a surprise. We measured it and it turned out to be just under five feet long. This just goes to show you that you never know what wildlife you could run into here in Belize.
