An Ohio woman called 9-1-1 last Thursday asking for help because as she told the operator, “I have a boa constrictor stuck to my fast. Please hurry. He’s biting my nose.”
The 45-year old had a 5 1/2 foot-long boa wrapped around her neck and biting her face at the same time. The snack was a rescue animal that she had just gotten the day before, but he wasn’t the only snack in her possession. The woman has two other boa constrictors and nine ball pythons.

The dispatcher said, “I’ve never heard of this before,” but she dispatched the fire department and the EMS to the lady’s house to help her free.
When the firefighters arrived to her house they said that they found the lady laying in her driveway and that there was blood everywhere.
They were able to save her, but the only way was to cut the snack’s head off and then remove it off of her face.
“I’m just really pleased with the paramedics response and you know the thought, to think that quick to take out a pocket knife, obviously he had to destroy the snake but he had no there choice, said the Mayor of Sheffield Lake, Dennis Bring in an interview..
The woman declined an on camera interview, but she was taken to the hospital for her non-life threatening injuries.
