Ohio Man Found Dead With Pet Boa Constrictor Wrapped Around His Neck
CINCINNATI — A 13-foot boa constrictor wrapped itself around its owner's neck and killed the man in his home, authorities said.
An acquaintance found Ted Dres, 48, inside the snake's cage Saturday and called police, the Hamilton County Sheriff's office said.
The snake was still strangling Dres when deputies arrived, and the officers had to work with members of an animal protection group to remove the reptile, the sheriff's office said.
This is the 3rd or 4th snake incident I've reported on over the last few months.
Note to self: take pet python off Christmas List for my kids.
These deputies should have followed suit of the deputy that I recently reported on who tasered a snake to get it to stop chewing on a guy's arm.
I may add a taser on to our family Christmas wish list. Who knows, one day one of our guinea pigs may latch on to my finger and I'll need a way to stun it off. Maybe grandpa and grandma can get us one for the house. We'll keep it next to the fire extinguisher.

Get the taser for sure. At the very least it will be useful for disciplining the kids.

I just thought about it; a lot of guys get neck ties for Christmas; this guy got a 13 foot neck tie; no good, nish-nish.

i am recoiling with the thought of a man's beloved snake turning on him.
The thought of it causes my skin to crawl.
