Got snakes? Six-foot boa invades Kansas couch

You’ve got snakes on a plane. And you’ve got loose change in the sofa. But rarely do the two combine.

However this is exactly what happened to a Kansas family Tuesday in Rose Hill — about 18 miles southeast of Wichita — who found a snake in their living-room couch.

It’s not something one sees every day, for sure.

“This morning, we were asked by Rose Hill PD for assistance with an unusual call in Rose Hill,” the Butler County Fire District #3 said in a statement on Facebook. “A citizen called 911 and reported finding a six foot boa constrictor in their living room couch! Yikes!”

Yikes! Indeed.

so my daycare kids could examine it. We also took the snake to my kids' school for show and tell.
