03 August 2010 [15:34] - Today.Az
A 6ft long boa constrictor is on the loose in Essex after escaping through the bathroom window of a house in Barnfield, Wickford. Police are now hunting for the snake, called Diego, after its owner realised it was missing from his home on Friday. Members of the public have been warned not to approach the snake and police have said that it could be a danger to small animals.
Specialists believe the the boa may have been encouraged to go out hunting because it is breeding season. Neighbours have been told that it could be in their gardens and have been warned to keep children and pets indoors. Boa constrictors kill their prey through asphyxiation.
