Just Me and the Boa...

YIKES!

So Friday evening, I get off of work and stop by the Rose Spa to get a Pedi (my addiction). Mekia hooked me up, I tried a new color, sky blue, and I love it!! So anyways, I finished up there and stopped by the leasing office to get a glass of wine and then headed to my place. So it's about 7:10pm. I walk into the house, kick off my shoes and head to the kitchen so that I can take my clothes out the washer to put in the dryer. I get to the kitchen and flip the light on and walk towards the laundry room. As I turn the corner, what the hell do I see?! A SNAKE'S Head peeping from under the refrigerator!!!!!!!! A SNAKE! So I walk backwards slowly, because I didn't want to scare the thing. I walk over to the couch and sit up on the head of it to keep my eyes on the snake. I grab the phone and call the leasing office to get someone to get the dang thing. I call the office and they put me thru to maintenance. It is now 7:25pm. Maintenance states that they will send someone to me. I sit and wait and call my Soror Megan, so she can keep me calm. So now it's about 7:45 and the Maintenance team is a NO-SHOW. So I get off the phone with Megs and call the front office again. They inform me that the Maintenance team is coming. It's now 7:50pm. So finally the leasing office calls me back and F'in informs me that I have to call the non-emergency police because there's no one available! So then I ask, do you have their number and he saids NO I DON'T. I'm now pissed. So anyways. I get off the phone and search for a phone book. I get the number and call the police. It's now 8:10pm. The police show up at about 8:15pm. Wow! That was fast and much appreciated!! So the officers come in and go to the kitchen, and of course I stay right on the couch because I am going no where near that thing. So the snake sees them coming towards him and he slides off under the fridge. So the officer moves the fridge and you will never believe what they see! They see a 4 foot long Boa!!! WTF?! A 4 foot Boa under the fridge in my townhouse! You have to be F'in kidding me! So after I finish having a mental breakdown I go back over the couch. The officers keep me well entertained. One is loving the snake and the other is slowly dying at the thought of having to catch this thing.

So back to the snake. The snake slides off and go towards his home, a hole in the wall. He slides in it but not fast enough, because the cop grabs it's tail and holds on. Well the snake gets upset and scared and starts flexing its body. It is now half way into the wall. So I call maintenance again and inform them that the police have to cut the wall open to get the snake. As soon as the cops say this, all of a sudden the maintenance team shows up! What a coincidence?! So the cops take a butter knife and start cutting into the wall. The maintenance team runs to the car and grabs some extra tools and help assist the police. The police gets the wall open and they are able to get the whole snake. I get them a plastic bag and they place the snake in the bag. The snake tuns out to be too big so we double up bags and they tie the bag up and take it outside. Y'all can only imagine my thoughts in this whole thing. Okay, so the police leave with the snake and I go inside and call my mother. I tell her everything and then pack a small bag and head off to a hotel (theres no way I can stay there).

So the next morning, Saturday, I drive to the leasing office to speak to the manager. Well, they inform me that the previous tenant owned a pet snake and while he was away for a weekend, the snake got out. Well the tenant never found the snake, so assumed the snake got outside and went away. WTF? So The Corporate Housing, Apartment Complex, and Previous Owner knew there was a SNAKE in the home but NO ONE told me?!?! You have to be kidding me?!

I am so done.

Okay, so the Corporate Housing Agent puts me in a new Apartment, out on Kinsey. Yes, it feels better to be safe and in a different place but it's still an uneasy feeling that I lived with a Boa for two weeks. But I am ALIVE.

Hmmmm....So for two weeks it was Just Me and the Boa. Welcome to TEXAS!
