MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Residents of Middletown, Ohio, are baffled as to the origin of an 8-foot red tail boa constrictor found frozen solid near the Great Miami River.
The snake was found by four employees of McGraw-Kokosing Inc., who were working clearing storm debris on company property.
Worker Chris Miller told the Middletown Journal it wasn't clear where the snake had come from or how long it had been there but he said it was "fresh-looking."
Similar snakes were stolen several months ago from tattoo artist Edward Morris, but after seeing a picture of the frozen one, said it wasn't his.
He speculated the snake probably had been released in the last few days and was looking for a warm place to burrow and hibernate.
The workers who found it are debating whether to have a pair of boots made, several wallets, or whether to have it stuffed and mounted, the newspaper said.
