I have a 6' Boa as a pet, but I don't let him run loose, as he'd could handle a small child. I did feed him the birds that I caught in my kitchen exhaust fan duct. He loved them and it saved me a trip to the pet store and $8.

Leland's tale reminds me of the Kangaroo that Sylvester always mistakes for a giant mouse.

While living in zip code E-I-E-I-O as a young child, I awoke one night to get some water. When I turned the light on, there was a scorpion on the ceiling about 2' above my nose. I was sleeping on the top bunk. I carefully crawled down to get a cup to catch him, came back and could not find him - never did. Imagine sleeping in that bed again.
