4-Foot Boa Constrictor Found at McDonald’s Drive-Thru in North Carolina

CARY, NORTH CAROLINA, JUN 23 – Talena Chavis, NC Snake Catcher, rescued a 4-foot boa constrictor found outside a Cary McDonald's drive-thru; non-native snake calls occur about every three months, she said.

  • A 4-foot boa constrictor was found outside a McDonald's drive-thru in Cary around 2 p.m. on Saturday, prompting a call to NC Snake Catcher owner Talena Chavis.
  • The snake was likely abandoned or lost, with a couple discovering and safely boxing it after a customer moved it from under the drive-thru window.
  • Chavis confirmed the snake was a boa constrictor imperator, docile and in good condition, possibly escaped from a nearby reptile show vendor who had stopped for food.
  • Chavis expressed surprise at receiving such an unusual snake and referred to the couple as 'guardian angels' who rescued it.
  • After no owner came forward following lost-and-found efforts, an NC Snake Catcher employee took the snake home to adopt it unless the rightful owner claims it.
