BENSONHURST, N.Y. (WPIX) -- Many sometimes find coins, dollars, and even the occasional Cheeto tucked underneath the cushions of their sofa. But what a pair of boys discovered slithering inside their living room sofa was far from a cheesy, stale snack.
Jhomar Bennett and his friend Danny Yuastella said they felt something moving in the cushions behind them, as they were watching television Tuesday afternoon.
"We started shaking the cushions, and it just started pouring out," Yuastella, 7, told the NY Daily News.
What poured out was a 4-1/2 foot, 5-pound boa constrictor.
At first, Jhomar thought it was a toy, but soon realized it was a real snake and immediately called his mom who phoned police.
When authorities arrived to the 62nd Street residence, officers were terrified of the reptile, said Danielle Bennett, Jhomar's mom.
"They were scared of it. They were petrified so they called animal control," she told the News.
When animal control workers arrived, they scooped up the snake and tossed it into a pillow case.
It's still unclear how the boa made its way into the Bennett's brown leather sofa. One theory involves the snake entering the residence by way of a toilet.
According to a spokesperson for Animal Care & Control, boas lurking around New York City isn't as unusual as you think.
Approximately 20 boas are captured annually in New York by animal control services.
