A pet owner in the Stavanger Drive area is worried sick over their lost boa constrictor.

The anonymous owner of the salmon boa took to the NL Classifieds to try and find his beloved pet, a salmon-coloured boa who is described as “a sweet, gentle snake” who “is probably scared and cold right now.”

The boa was able to tear through the duct tape holding down the lid of his tank and make good his escape in the Hussey Drive area, off Torbay Road.

A reward is offered for his return. Details are here.
