MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – While it’s not uncommon to find a snake in the grass in Florida, it is unusual for said snake to be a 7-foot-long red-tailed boa.
The Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue venom response unit was called to capture just that on Wednesday.
The boa was located in a grassy area near Northwest 162 Street and Northwest 84th Avenue in Miami Lakes.
