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.

Always search for boas with someone smaller than you. And slower.
Not exactly the fastest thing up there, and especially in those cool Idaho nights.
It couldn’t have gone far.
The snake has been found, it hadn’t gotten too far!

I guess if you have an AP account you have to use it.
A 9 foot boa is not a big threat to anyone in Idaho. If you want to write about an invasive snake threat, do an article about pythons in the Everglades. They make the 9 foot boa look like an earth worm.
Was it stopped by a good boa with a gun? The NRA wants to know.
