Snake gives biologist the slip

EAGLE RIVER, Alaska (UPI) -- An Alaska Fish and Game biologist said a baby rubber boa constrictor has escaped from its terrarium in her Eagle River, Alaska, home.

Biologist Jessy Coltrane said she took in the 8-inch-long snake, named Grubb, after it was found Friday in an Anchorage man's garage, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

However, she said the snake, which is not dangerous to humans, disappeared from its terrarium Tuesday.

Coltrane said Grubb is likely hiding somewhere in the vicinity of her home. She said that during the days it was in her house, it did little other than burrow.

The biologist said experts are unsure of how the baby snake ended up in Anchorage.

"It could be an escaped pet, or it could have come from an escaped female that laid eggs," she said.
