CORNER BROOK, N.L. — Residents of Corner Brook, N.L., can breathe easy after the owner of a missing three-metre boa constrictor says the snake was safely returned.
Venus's owners say they found their stolen serpent in a duffel bag left in a basement at about 12 a.m.
In a post on Wild World's Facebook page, the pet store owners credit an anonymous source for reuniting them with the boa.
According to the post, the tipster said the reptile's captors intended to harm the snake.
The boa was stolen from the yet-to-open pet shop overnight Thursday.
The shop's owners say they "didn't use police force in this matter."
