"We thought it was dead at first but no," he continued. "We contacted the snake chaser here in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. He’s going to find it a home."

Trudeau also shared pictures of the snake on his Facebook page.

"Is someone missing their pet?" he asked.

Boa constrictors are not venomous, though their bites exert a great deal of pressure and can cause bodily injury.
