Boa

She was a tiny girl, but she really held her own on the baritone sax. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but imagine the thing wrapping itself around her and devouring her like a boa constrictor.

That is not my fault; the grown-ups had put a stop to my artistic career when I was six and I had never drawn anything other than my two boa constrictors.

The monkey was swallowed by a boa constrictor.

I once saw in a book a wonderful picture of a boa constrictor swallowing some big game.

A feathered boa completed Olivia's outfit.

The proof came when genetic tests came back from a Harvard lab, confirming that the silver boa was in fact a different species that—just like Darwin's Finches on the Galápagos islands—had been evolving in isolation for several million years.

Lance Mitchell is an interesting character. He's a hair colorist by trade, who lives with his wife in a fairly typical suburban apartment complex just outside Washington, D.C. He has tattoos on both arms and rings in both ears. He enjoys bicycling, and exploring caves, and says he was raised by Druids, practitioners of an ancient Celtic religion that emphasizes the connection between humans and other animals. That upbringing is one of the reasons Lance Mitchell feels so passionately about his snakes, one-meter and three-meter-long pythons, Georgie and Bert, and his two-meter-long boa constrictor, Medusa.

It's the biggest boa constrictor ever found.
