Arenoso agricultural

Arenoso, Duarte province. – A farmer from the community of Ciénaga Vieja, in the municipality of Arenoso, experienced moments of surprise and tension when he found a large snake, which according to residents' versions could be a boa, while he was preparing to spread fertilizer on his agricultural plot. The event occurred when the producer was carrying out his usual tasks in the field and noticed the presence of the reptile hidden among the undergrowth. The animal's considerable size caught his attention, causing him fear, so he decided to leave the place immediately to avoid any incident.

After learning about the situation, several community members went to the area to observe the snake, generating comments and speculation about its species. Some claimed it was a boa, a non-venomous snake, but of great strength, whose discovery caused a stir among residents, especially among those who work in rural and agricultural areas.

You can also read: Residents of Ciénaga Vieja called on the competent authorities and the Ministry of Environment to intervene and proceed with the proper handling of the animal, in order to guarantee both the protection of the reptile and the safety of the farmers and inhabitants of the community. Meanwhile, they recommended that field workers exercise caution when carrying out their work in areas where these types of wild animals may appear.
