Blog #7 (The Saved Boa)
1. Firefighter Saves Boa Constrictor From Burning House by John Virata
2. Reptile Magazine Online, Published in March 2014.
3. I chose this article just because most people are scared of snakes and it was cool that a firefighter would save a pet like that. Boas are big snakes!
4. I liked that this story came from Muskegon, Michigan! The house ended up burning down but all humans and animals were rescued safely :) Hemmelsbach, the reptile savior firefighter, agreed to go into the house to save the beloved pet. Just like our reptile team, he participated in one in high school which was pretty awesome. Impressive that he knew how to handle a startled 7 ft. boa name chocolate chip.
5. I learned that there are other people out there that have normal jobs, but have a passion for reptiles. It's cool that he took a small skill (snake handling) that he learned in high school and applied it to his job. Not many people would go in a burning house to save a 7 ft. snake that is frightened. It's especially cool that this came from Michigan too.

9. This animal is definitely an expert level animal because of how big they are and how startling they can be. They are "constrictors" after all.
10. The most interesting thing about boas is how big they can get!
