And pack up while crawling neither seen nor known in the streets of the village.
The firefighters, called around 9:30 p.m., eventually found the reptile that had landed on a stone wall.

One of them ended up gently grabbing the boa by the head to place it in a large round trash can and close the lid.
They then returned it to its owner.
