Six Foot Snake Falls on Person Sleeping in Central New York

A 6-foot Boa constrictor falls from the ceiling right on a sleeping man one floor down.

Under normal conditions, the last thing you would expect to see or have happened to you is to be waking up by a snake.

On June 29th, Environmental Conservation Office (ECO) Matt Foster responded to an unusual complaint in the village of Pulaski. The panicked caller reported that a large snake had fallen from the ceiling onto someone sleeping in his bedroom.

After a little detective work, the officer determined the six-foot-long snake was a Red-Tai boa constrictor had escaped its enclosure in the apartment above and entered the ceiling.

The snake is legal to possess in New York and was reunited with its owner.
