Ian Mack found the snake with a bulge the size of what he said was probably a groundhog.

He posted on the Lost and Found Pets Baltimore City Facebook page, saying the snake was "safe for now, but I'm trying to find a home for it,"

The Facebook page responded saying in their comments to the post there had been a report of a loose boa constrictor on one of the other Baltimore-area neighborhood pages several weeks ago.

He passed the snake on to Wildlife Adventures, a wildlife awareness education outreach program in Baltimore.
