A four-foot-long snake found slithering down a steamy Harlem sidewalk this morning had pedestrians in a tizzy — until cops came and removed it.The snake — identified as a boa constrictor — was found across the street from Central Park after a passerby stumbled upon it at about 8:30 a.m., police said.
The reptile was outside the entrance to a laundromat at 410 W. 110 St. It was taken by police officers to a nearby NYC Center for Animal Care and Control shelter in upper Manhattan.
The snake, a female, is believed to be a pet that either got away or was abandoned by its owner, authorities said.
