Snake 'arrested' after eating a dog and trying to hug its human a bit too tight
Australia's wildlife are famous for their ruthless eating habits, but it's a non-native snake that caused a stir on in the small country town of Singleton, Tuesday.
Long story short, police received complaints that it ate a dog.
A 2.3 metre (7.5 feet) boa constrictor was taken into custody after reports it had dined on a small, innocent doggie.

Not only that, it tried "constricting" its owner while they slept. It's unknown whether the dog also belonged to the snake-owner.
Sadly, police said the boa was a threat and needed to be put down.
A statement from the NSW Police Force said that National Parks and Wildlife officers deemed the big fella "to be a non-native species and will be euthanised at a local veterinary facility due to the danger it poses to native mammals, household pets and the risk of spreading disease."
Please don't keep giant, wild animals as pets, people.
It will only end in tears.
