Re: Snakes on the lawn?
My dogs don't actually go on that lawn just rabbits. It's enclosed so no dogs from next door get in but just cats but I will be watching all the time.
We have had buzzards and falkens in the area but never been a problem with my rabbits. It be very stupid to try and lift a 5ft boa. Do they do that in ur area. We do get ants but will keep them away from those areas. Thanks for all the comments and advise

These things lift 5' gopher snakes, kings, jackrabbits, and babies(?!) all day long. 2 days ago I even witnessed one fighting, killing, and then eating another hawk. I don't think your boa would be too much of a problem for it.

Gopher Snakes and Kingsnakes are much thinner than a boa... Jackrabbits as well are smaller, and that video was a fake.
It would be truly surprising to me if a bird went after a boa. From a predator's standpoint, it's never a good idea to go after something that can go after you. The individuals who try are usually selected against. Birds of prey can only pick up a maximum of about ten pounds, from what I know.
Honestly I would not worry.

Re: Snakes on the lawn?
A solo bird may have a hard time but even big snakes can't fight off a murder of crows or a group of vultures. But would a bird swoop down and steal your big boa from right in front of you. No!!

Re: Snakes on the lawn?
There is no hawks in this area or red kites. If there was I can't see it winning an attack on a boa although I'm sure the boa would be injured. I'm sure the bird would choose an easier meal like rabbits or chickens. We have loads in this area.

Re: Snakes on the lawn?
Not trying to discredit anyone's argument, but that youtube video was a very good fake done by film students.

Thanks. I adopted him from a crack head something like 7 years ago. She had him in her party room as a display to look cool.
The same room where they blare rap 24/7 till the floor shakes.
I think my nice silent, climate controlled reptile room is a better place to live out his years.

That may be so but like I said in this country they don't exist. Only in zoo's. I sometimes wish they did. It would keep away all the seagulls. Lol
I leave my rabbits to roam my garden all day and never lost any. Only threat to them is the foxes
