Turkey Eating Boa Constictor
« on: September 27, 2003, 05:39:36 AM »
A few years ago I was deer hunting on Thanksgiving day in Pike County Arkansas.  We went into a the small town of Antoine to get some gas.  Across the road, in front of Jim's Pawn Shop, was about a 12 foot snake that looked like it had swallowed a basketball.  Come to find out a family had been outside watching their son dress out a deer when the son's pet Boa Constictor got out.  The snake swallowed a 23 pound turkey that was left on a table to thaw. Because they had small children they  hocked the snake to the Pawn shop.  The snake is still there.  Jim says he feeds the snake about two chickens a month and many locals come to watch.  On one occasion they let out school early, in Delight, to let the students watch Jim feed the snake.  THIS IS A TRUE STORY. :shock:

Somewhere a while back there was a 30' snake I'm not sure what kind it was I think it was a python there was pictures on the net in south america somewhere a guy took a nap and when the other workers found him he was inside this big snake dead they actually shows the pictures of him in the snake.  I hate snakes!!!!!                                                        BigBill

I was fishing lastyear and I caught a painted turtle while reeling it in a small water snake came out from under a rock near me to attack it.  I took my rod tip and smacked it and thru it in the water I thought I killed it.  It actually came back to life and came at me as it went back to bite me I smacked the hell out of it again and thru it in the water a second time.  Now the third time i put it up on shore took a rock and killed it.  These water snakes are the worst for me anyway I can't imagine messing with a big snake even as a pet??

lasta year i had some water snakes try to grab bluegills off my line as i reeled them in.   i figured i would show them how big i was and they would back off.   nope, damn things actually came toward me really fast; stopped about 2 feet away.  so i start smashing snakes with rocks....i dont go there without snake loads in a pistol anymore.  funny thing is, i havent had a problem since.  never happens when you are properly equiped to deal with it;  why is that?

That ain't NUTHIN'!
   Boudreaux been fish'n down by de bayou all day an he done run outa night crawlers. He be bout reddy to leave when he seen a snake wit a big frog in is mout. He knowed dat dem big bass fish like frogs, so he decided to steal dat froggie.

Dat snake, he be a cotton moufed water moccasin so he had to be real careful or he'd get bit. He snuk up behine de snake and grabbed him roun de haid. Dat ole snake din't lak dat one bit.

He squirmed and wrapped hisself roun Boudreaux's arm try'n to get hisself free. But Boudreaux, him, had a real good grip on his haid, yeh.

Well, Boudreaux pried his mout open and got de frog and puts it in his baitcan. Now, Boudreaux knows dat he cain't let go dat snake or hes gonna bite him good, but he had a plan. He reach into de back pocket of his bib overhauls and pulls out a pint a moonshine likker. He pour some draps into de snakes mout.

Well, dat snake's eyeballs roll back in his haid and his body go limp. Wit dat Boudreaux toss's dat snake into de bayou. Den he goes back to fishin.

A while later Boudreaux dun feel sumpin tappin on his barefoot toe. He slowly look down and dare dat water moccasin was, with two frogs in his mout.

  Stolen, shamelessly, from another board.>>>>>>>>>>>>Bug.
