A Target Iowa store worker was given the shock of her life after finding a boa constrictor curled up in a shopping basket.
Customers and employees at an Iowa Target store were in for a surprise when a shopping card brought in from the outdoor corral turned out to already be occupied by a Colombian red-tailed boa constrictor.
The Sioux City Police Department confirmed animal control officers responded to the Sunnybrook Drive Target store in Sioux City on a report of a large snake in a shopping cart.
“This is the first time in 38 years that I’ve ever seen a snake go shopping at a local Target store,” she laughed. “Every day is a new adventure because we never know what we’ll get.”
Cindy Rarrat with the Sioux City Animal Adoption and Rescue Center told KCAU 9 that they are investigating how the snake got in the shopping cart, whether it found its way to the cart or was placed in it.
“It’s quite a large snake, probably 4-5 feet long,” Rarrat told FOX Weather. “Red, beautiful, beautiful snake. Not typically indigenous to this area.”
Rarrat added that they named the snake Target, pronounced “tar-zhay.”
Larger boa constrictors have large teeth and are known to bite if they feel threatened.
