Four workers clearing debris along the Great Miami River have been entertaining themselves with a frozen eight-foot snake found in Southwest Ohio on Monday.

The McGraw-Kokosing Inc. workers were reportedly cleaning debris from recent floods and filling a sinkhole when they found the boa constrictor. The snake was found stretched out near a bike path along the river.

AP quotes Chris Miller, one of the workers as saying, "We've been entertaining ourselves. It's been a lot of fun, really. It's very unusual. It'd be like finding an alligator down here."

According to Niki Treadway, a saleswoman at Jacks Aquarium and Pets in Middletown, Boas don't coil when cold. They end up by taking heat from external sources, such as the sun or rocks.
