A boa constrictor ended up sending its owner to the ER after it coiled around his hand and began squeezing it for several minutes.
According to the account shared by medical staff, the man arrived at the hospital saying that the snake had been applying pressure for about 5 minutes, causing him a lot of pain and numbness in his hand.
Although boa constrictors can measure up to 3 meters and often intimidate because of their size, experts explain that they rarely attack humans and do not usually pose a danger to people. These snakes are solitary and nocturnal animals, known for immobilizing their prey by squeezing them with their bodies.
