Homemade Boa Snake Trap (Colour Litho)

Homemade Boa Snake Trap Jacques Boninot, a 15-year-old boy, was happily pedaling on a road near Riom (France) when a boa constrictor was almost under the routes. He turned around and went home. Jacques' father took a crate and with his son returned to the scene. The buoy was still the motionless, all twisted, and seemed semi-dormant. The man approached him cautious, threw over the box that he held steady on the ground by pressing with all his weight. The snake was then handed over to the owner of the circus from which he had escaped. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 29 July 1956.
