NAMPA, Idaho (AP) — Police in Nampa say they’re on the lookout for a 9-foot Columbian boa constrictor named Trinity.

The big snake last was seen around 4 p.m. Friday, before it escaped from its cage.

The Idaho Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/YIH9gY ) the snake last ate three weeks ago.

Police urge anybody who sees the snake not to try to catch it. They say call the Nampa Police Department at (208) 465-2257.
