Keep a shotgun in your truck and you’ll be just fine.

>>It is absolutely impossible that a large constrictor survived this past Northeastern winter (or any other winter) in the wild. <<

Could one live in the sewer system of a city or underneath an apartment building and feed on rats?

It was an exceptionally cold winter in Jersey this year.

In the town next to me with a high Italian population, almost everyone lost their fig trees due to the cold. The blueberry bushes got hit really hard too. They already have the picking machines in the fields

Definitely could live on rats. I don't know anything about the temperature of a sewer system, but if the temperature were in the right range, I suppose so.

Everyone’s been pretty comical on this thread... I’m heading to Lake Hopatcong for a 10 day stay this coming Wednesday. This has been our summer home for my entire lifetime.

If any Lake Hopatcong Freepers are on this thread: can you tell me about where this thing was spotted? We’ll obviously take precautions but this gives me the willies.

You might find out first whether the boa makes good chili.

Jest sayin’

Yes we have snakes here in MTNs NC and they go underground in winter...10-15 below -0- about once a winter...otherwise mild winters.

That said, the snakes come out every summer to play, so why would that big one be any different...I am not a snake person but know they don’t all die in winter.

The snake, whatever it is, will be dead of poisoning any day now.

Studies have shown that Lake Hopatcong is 74% water, 26% “other.”

Looks like it is a Green Anaconda, 15 to 16ft.

Expert: Lake Hopatcong snake an anaconda, but I was 'sworn to keep my mouth shut'
