A boa constrictor snake seems to be on the loose in the Greater Boston community of Lexington, Massachusetts.
Police in the town took to Facebook on Wednesday night to share a photo they got from a resident, showing the boa constrictor in the Center area of town behind the CVS. Officers said that the snake was described as being docile, and is probably a pet that escaped or was released.
The snake is not believed to be a threat, but anyone who may come across it should not touch or approach it — instead, you're asked to call the Lexington Police Department.

The town's animal control officer is working with Mass Wildlife on the case, and both will be looking for the snake on Thursday in an effort to capture it.
