PALMETTO BAY, Fla. (WSVN) — Firefighters made a reptile roundup in Palmetto Bay.
Residents on Wednesday found what they thought was a large python threatening a group of peacocks in the middle of a road near Southwest 71st Avenue and 148th Terrace.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Venom Response Team said it was actually a dangerous boa constrictor.
Crews carefully grabbed the snake’s head before they put the reptile in a tarp.
The boa will be handed over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
