Somerville —

A large boa constrictor was rescued bySomerville Police at Assembly square today.

Animal Control Officer April Terrio said the snake had a bruise on its head but looked healthy and active this morning. It is in the care of a snake expert until someone claims it. Age, weight and sex have not been determined yet.

At about 9:30 a.m. this morning, Terrio got a call about a snake found at Central Steel on Foley Street in Assembly Square.
