Not that snake...possibly a different one. It would have to be from a friend of his that lives in MN. You are allowed to take certain snakes across state lines. I will try and make sure he gets one if you want to hold it!
You do mean this snake?

My buddy has an 8' Boa and that thing is a tanker, Fantastic animal and I always have to hold it when I go over to his house. But outside of holding it, feeding it is pretty cool too. |

Location: North St. Paul, MN | I've seen several nets at the swap meet the last three years. My best friend got one two years ago, brand new beckman for 50$.
I'll be there Friday night with my 4 year old girl, building bucktails and checking out the bulldawgs (she loves bulldawgs). I will probably have to spring for at least one or two pink or purple lures as that's what normally happens when I take her to Thorne's. Then, Saturday I will be there with my dad and friends. Off to O'Gara's after that! Can't wait. |

Location: Palm Coast, FL | Yes, "he" (or should I say a girl...not even that) was right next to us. He wouldn't even get close to the snake while little girls frequently came right up to it. You should have seen him jump when something brushed against him that startled him.  |
