Cops are on the hunt for one slippery suspect: a 20-foot-long boa constrictor haunting a New Jersey lake.
State police say they’re investigating reports of the serpent slithering in Lake Hopatcong, about an hour west of New York City.
People are being warned to watch their pets and small children after a dozen sightings.
Animal Control Officer Dale Sloat said the snake was likely someone’s pet that grew too large to handle.
