It was the smell that attracted them.
Adolescents who took a swim (however prohibited) in the Doubs found a dead boa constrictor.
The discovery took place Wednesday afternoon under the Voujeaucourt bridge, in the Doubs, reports L'Est Républicain.
The young people brought the 2.40-meter reptile out of the water, before the rural guards intervened.
The snake, non-poisonous but known to suffocate its prey, then had to be analyzed.
It could have escaped from its vivarium or been dumped by its owner.
