This huge boa constrictor is just one of many exotic animals Bill Valliere is moving from the Endangered Animal Sanctuary on Millwood Rd. in Leaside to a farm north of Metro donated by a Toronto businessman. The boa's not much trouble; but difficult to take for a walk; as; from left to right; Sarita De Souza; Maryanne Mueller; Eddie Shaisson and Judy Burfoot found out yesterday.
