A security guard got a big surprise this Tuesday when he opened the barrier that allows entry to the Costa Verde country to one of the operators who had to enter that
private neighborhood in Córdoba
.
Next to the worker,
a huge 2-meter boa tried to enter
the closed housing complex.
The incident occurred in Piedmont at 5,700, near the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium, northern area of the city of Córdoba.
One of the guards described how he acted when faced with the apparition, apart from calling the authorities.
He reported that to capture it, he took the animal by the tail and then together with one of his companions and helped by a stick, they managed to put it in a bin, where
the reptile had to wait for the arrival of the environmental patrol
.
They found a two-meter boa in a country in Córdoba.
According to reports, it is
a lampalagua
, an animal that can measure up to 4 meters and lives in wooded and semi-arid areas of the country.
Although it does not have venom,
it kills its prey by constriction
, so it is still a dangerous specimen.
What fate awaits the boa?
In communication with ElDoce.tv, Deputy Commissioner Débora Ulloque gave information about the fate that awaits the snake.
“The Environmental Police, which is the enforcement authority
, will decide
.
“It is generally released in the northwest of the province of Córdoba,” she said.
The specialist added details in dialogue with the television channel.
"This situation occurs
when trucks with firewood circulate
or when it is captured for pets and it escapes or is released due to the size it reaches," she pointed out regarding the discovery, which is not frequent.
“It is an ectothermic animal, which needs heat to carry out its activities, but
it is not common for it to travel long distances
,” he explained about the boa.
On January 10, a similar event had already occurred that involved the appearance of another exotic specimen - which, it is noted,
is not authorized to be kept as a pet
.
On that occasion, a 2-meter snake was found inside a house in the "Paradise" area, in the Mediterranean province.
The Córdoba Police rescued a 2-meter snake on January 10.
The couple who lived in this town, about 35 kilometers from Villa de María de Río Seco,
saw the reptile entering their kitchen through the roof
, so they quickly called the police, who managed to retain the animal weighing about 5 kilos. weight.
