Ary Fontoura finds boa constrictor at his Rio home

Veteran actor Ary Fontoura shared a video on social media showing a boa constrictor (jiboia) crawling on the walls of his home's outdoor area in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Rio de Janeiro.

The 93-year-old actor described the encounter as an “unexpected visit” and noted the animal appeared to be “tough.” While filming, Fontoura was advised by others to keep his distance due to the speed of potential attacks, so he observed the snake from afar. The boa constrictor species is considered non-threatening to humans.
