SHEFFIELD LAKE, OHIO — A woman who rescued a 5.5 foot-long snake didn't receive a thank you, but a gnarly bite to the nose after she likely got too close. <br /> <br />On July 31, the 45-year-old woman was checking on two boa constrictors she had rescued a day earlier when one of them jumped from its cage, and latched onto her nose. Unable to pry the snake from her face, she called 9-1-1 to get help. <br /> <br />With blood splattering everywhere, the woman frantically tried to explain her frightening situation. The Chronicle has since published the distressing emergency call. <br /> <br />9-1-1 Call: <br />Woman: "Help, please! I have a boa constrictor stuck to my face!" <br />Dispatcher: "Ma'am, you have a what?" <br />Woman: "Boa constrictor! 4035 East Lake Road!" <br /> <br />Panicked, the woman ran out to her driveway and collapsed as emergency crews rushed to her aid. <br /> <br />With the boa constrictor wrapped around her neck, paramedics had no choice but to cut the snake's head off using a pocket knife. <br /> <br />The woman, who is known around her neighborhood for her collection of nine ball pythons, suffered non life-threatening injuries. The dead reptile was disposed of in a nearby trash bin. <br /> <br />According to LiveScience, boa constrictors typically coil around their prey to suffocate them to death, and their attacks don't usually result in bites.
