Kansas man finds 6 foot boa constrictor in his couch.
“Thankfully, I did not yell or have any visible reaction, but I’m telling you I was panicking on the inside,” Bailey says.
Always use heavy fireproof gloves when searching your sofa bed for remotes, keys or coins...

ROSE HILL, Kan. (WTNH) — A Kansas family may be couch shopping after finding a six-foot boa constrictor in theirs.
According to KAKE , on Monday a Rose Hill man was looking for his misplaced keys in between his couch cushions when he found something else: a huge snake.
The man notified police and a volunteer firefighter — who loves snakes — was brought in to help.
He was able to remove the boa constrictor from a “hiding bed.” The fireman said the snake was cold when he took it out and guesses that it had been in there for weeks or months.
Officials believe the boa is a missing pet. They’re currently searching for its owner.

Two yesrs ago, i went Rattle Snake Hunting near Wellsboro Pa with my buddy who is into it.
Pretty amazing, how right off a common walk path, we had pulled four out of side grass in ten minuites.
It was like herding cats, as they all went in different directions.
Pretty cool. We only captured one that was big enough to keep.
We barbaqued him up. A little chewey, but with BBQ sauce, not too bad.
I thought they stopped the rattlesnake round-up in PA?
possibly, but if licensed, you can hunt and keep ones that measure up and are old enough
Is that a boa in your couch, or are you just happy to see me?
Hey, watch the Forked Tongue !
What's all that Rattling ?
Is that to scale ?
Scared you right out of your skin, did i...?
Bwhahaha!
There's probably a regrettable mouse joke somewhere too, lol.
LMAO!
At least it wasn't his "coach" as my first glance at the headline indicated. I had to put my glasses on and give it a double take before realizing this was a less exciting a story than I first thought...
Omigawd! I finally went up and reread the headline. TOOOOOOO funny! Still laughin' ...
... and an anaconda under the quilt in the bedroom. beware of furniture in the driveway with a free sign
righttt.....
... alrighty then, a night crawler. happy now? a bit more relatable?
It's not for me to judge...
LOL!
Have you seen those commercials with the men holding up vegetables and staring at them? It's an ad for some penis dysfunction. Anyway, these guys are holding up eggplants, huge cucumbers and some really large veggies. Cracks me up because I think they're dreaming.
haven't seen them. those types of ads are run in a demographically targeted market, like the south.
I walked into that one.
touche
nothing on you. it's where most of the old structural rigidity challenged end up. no worries.
Whoever put that there was such an asp!
Such a slimy, slithery mother....
Dude's mechanic just called. His troubles just started:
A snake walks into a bar. The bartender says, "How the hell did you do that?!??"
A snake walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says "Sorry; we don't serve snakes here." The snake says, "Why the hell not??!?" The bartender says "It's a well known fact snakes can't hold their liquor."
A string walks into a bar. The bartenders says "Hey! We don't serve strings here! Get out!", so the string goes out to the parking lot, ties himself in the middle and pulls some strands off the top and walks back in. The bartender looks at him and says "Hey! Aren't you that string I just kicked out of here?" to which the string replied "Nope, I'm a frayed knot...".
Comic Sans, Helvetica and Times New Roman walk into a bar. "Get out!", says the bartender. He continues, "we don't serve your type in here!!"
I wish Grump was here. He has 2 corgis that look similar to that one
I miss him too. I can't wait until my newish boyfriend says something cranky so I can call him "Mr. Grumpy Pants." But we know who the real Mr. Grumpy Pants is. Wonder if he's still in NM?
He was one of the good ones. I miss his stories and pictures.
Not very grumpy at all actually. Haha
I love him. Totally love him. He's hosted some of his NV at his home from what I understand and is a fantastic host. I think Fargo has visited him and loved NM in general. Considering Fargo is from snow country, NM would be a welcome respite.
I remember once when Vlad went to visit him.
Miss them both.
And Fargo. : ) He was around here for a little while.
I miss all 3 of them. All of them had great stories
Awwwwww! Vlad. Love him too.
Didn't Cream do a song about him? " I'm so Vlad, I'm so Vlad; I'm Vlad, I'm Vlad, I'm Vlad ."
i enjoyed Forest Grump,
but
only in the Biblical sense
With St. Patrick's Day less than two months away ...
Ok, I would have freaked. Reminds me of Sheldon and the chair picked up off the street.
When I was young I worked for a rent to own company. We were taught to carefully check couches and never stick ones hands down inside as there may be needles. Had them full of roaches, mice but never a snake.
Oh dear god. I watched an episode of Hoarders once and saw so many roaches (not the kind you leave behind when smoking a doob) and mice, I showered for an hour afterward. THEN I was watching Live PD once and this guy had cockroaches IN HIS FRIGGIN' CAR!!! What the hell?!?!?
Can't stand roaches. One time we picked up a bunch of furniture from a house that was so infested we left it all in the back off the truck and set off some of those bombs in it. Set them off and threw them in and shut up the truck. Even put one in the cab of the truck.
I think we ended up getting rid of most of it.
Another time we went to watch a movie at an acquaintances house. They were full of mice. Couldn't believe it. They were everywhere. Pretending to watch the movie yet watching all around me the whole time. One mouse even was in the stereo cabinet and popped open the glass door.
Couldn't wait to get out of there. Sad thing was they had a newborn.
Mr Giggles used to be a housing inspector on base. He inspected this house once that was so full of roaches, he actually had one run up his pants leg. He got the heeby jeebies, left that place, went home, took a shower, and put on clean clothes. He said he had the creepy crawlies for days afterwards
My ex used to work for the telephone company repairing phones at people's homes before he turned IT. He said he got a call where the wall phone no longer rang, it just made a low buzzing sound. He walked into the filthiest home he'd ever been in and almost immediately knew the problem. But he forged ahead and began taking the phone off the wall. The second he pulled the cover away from the wall [he did it excruciatingly slowly and in minute increments], roaches just started falling out and scurrying every which way on the wall. He slammed the cover back on immediately crushing some and retrapping the others. He put one screw on to hold it into place and left without making the repair. He felt roaches everywhere on him, or so he thought, and actually ran into a nearby YMCA and told them he had to shower immediately. After hearing the quick version of the story, they let him shower. He came home and didn't even want to wash his clothes. He threw them out. He was disgusted he had to put them back on. He then said no more to the home repair, so they put him repairing freeway phones (California). Two months after that, they sent him to IT school.
I can only imagine how a person feels when confronted by that many cockroaches
Not as good as a snake in the couch...but here's my story:
Had a kitten named Bunny, Satan's Little Sister, who caught a snake and brought it in the house. My spouse's family was about to come for a visit because my daughter was graduating college and getting married...anyway...
The snake went into hiding. It was just a little grass snake and I wasn't getting too excited, but I was not happy with that cat and Mr Giggles was not happy with me because I let it get away. So daughter comes home from school and after she'd been there about an hour I told her there was a snake loose in the house. Now she's not happy with me because I "forgot" to tell her. A little later, her best friend comes by and is sitting on the floor. K tells her about the snake. I never saw my future daughter-in-law move so quick before that or ever again.
We finally rounded up the snake and put him gently outside.
One time my cat was on the windowsill of my bay window, looking up. I went to see what he was so interested in - and there was a bat hanging from the curtain rod!
I got a plastic pitcher and a piece of cardboard, and carefully knocked it into the pitcher. Took it outside and when I went back a few minutes later, it had flown away.
My neighbors, on the other hand, had a few bats hanging out on the wall of their house - it was one of those log cabin kits, and apparently there were some gaps at the top beam where the bats got in.
Only ever had a bird in the house. It was hell getting it out.
Think it came down the chimney.
Edit: Take that back. Had a squirrel in the closet that housed the hvac unit. Never figured out how it got in there.
How did you get it in the pitcher??? If it would have flown at me, I would have absolutely screamed so loud, my clothes would have dropped off and run away on their own. You're a brave girl, katrix. You can be my roommate at the old folks home.
I had a bat in my bedroom one night. It's another story for another time
I put on heavy gloves and used the cardboard to knock it into the pitcher (and then to cover the pitcher while I carried it outside). Just in case it had rabies.
I actually like bats. The same neighbors demolished the old outbuilding on their property once, and their cousin and I stood in my front yard drinking beer and watching all the bats who were displaced flying around deciding where their new homes would be.
How long do you think it would take before the old folks home kicked us out?
I like sitting on the front porch and watching the bats come out at night. I cheer for the skeeter eaters
We'd be safe until we were caught giving Viagra to the old men to keep them from rolling out of bed.
Me too. In Sundance Square, if you get into the parking garage REEEEALLY early in the morning, they're flying around all over the place. I asked Security if there were any concerns about having a bat population, and he said that they were instrumental in keeping the mosquito population down. They monitor them carefully in order to make sure there are no rabid ones. And sure enough, you don't get bitten by mosquitos in summer months while shopping/dining/working in Sundance.
Me: I've sat in this chair for so long, my butt is asleep.
katrix: I know. I heard it snore three times.
I was fishing at twilight once, and the bats were flying around my line as I was casting - I guess they were curious as to whether my bait was something for them to eat. Not a single bat got tangled up.
And then there's the time I was driving miles up Skyline Drive in the evening, as a teenager. I saw something jump and thought maybe it was a rabbit. The next day when I went out to my car to go to work, there was a bat spread out on the hood. My buddy across the street had spotted it embedded in my grill, and helpfully put it on the hood for me. Until then I thought they were cute, sort of like mice with wings. Nope!
At least you found it.
Always accentuating the positive, you.
He's good like that. And I'm glad we did find it before my mother-in-law did.
Laughed for ten minutes at that before I could continue the comment!
She was an evil little shit
Makes me love her more.
My favorite Samuel L. Jackson role .
I don't watch too many horror movies but that one I did watch. I loved Samuel L in that movie
But I'm having a hard time thinking that cat is really that afraid of being shot.
OMIGAWWWWD, hilarious!!!!
