Las Vegas police find dozens of boa constrictors in home

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police found 30 boa constrictors in a home and then determined that nothing was amiss. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that investigators came across the snakes Tuesday during an unspecified law enforcement investigation and called Clark County Animal Control. A police spokesman said the county agency responded and determined that possession of constrictors wasn’t a crime. A county spokesman said local laws don’t prohibit having dozens of boa constrictors in a residence and that no action was taken because the snakes were in appropriate cages.  The spokesman said failure to provide a safe and clean living space could lead to animal cruelty charges.
