Animal control officers seized an 8-foot anaconda from a resident after it and two other snakes, a 10-foot Columbian red tail boa constrictor and a 6-foot Burmese python, escaped from the garage of the man’s home. All three snakes had been rounded up by their owner by the time police and animal control officers arrived. All three snakes were initially confiscated, but the boa constrictor and python were later returned as they were deemed less threatening.
