Three large Boa constrictors were found trying to slither out of a duffle bag that mysteriously ended up in a garbage can near a Brooklyn auto-body shop Monday, authorities said.
Police showed up to Finest Towing and Autobody Inc. on Baltic Street in Boerum Hill around 10:30 a.m. after one of the workers spotted the green bag moving and thought a baby may have been inside, cops said.
But when officers from the NYPD’s Emergency Services Unit opened the pouch, they found the trio of “large’’ serpents trying to get out.
“The snakes were in excess of 4 feet long,” said a source. “The person who called it in apparently thought it was an abandoned baby.”
The snakes were turned over to Animal Care and Control, where they will be place in a program to find them a home.
