There's a 9-Foot Creature on the Loose in Idaho — and It Hasn't Eaten for Three Weeks

NAMPA, Idaho (TheBlaze/AP) — Police in Nampa say they're on the lookout for a 9-foot Colombian boa constrictor named Trinity.

The big snake last was seen around 4 p.m. Friday before it escaped from its cage.

One fact to note: Trinity hasn't dined in three weeks, the Idaho Statesman reported.

According to Animal-World, these boas should be fed "once or twice a week" depending on size. The site adds that they're generally docile.

Still, anyone who sees the snake is urged to avoid trying to catch it but to call police instead.
