I once took care of a huge Boa for a professor at OSU. The snake lived in a large wooden box, with a sliding glass lid, and she was housed in our lab animal room.
One morning I entered the lab to find the Dean of Zoology, the snake wrapped around his waist... the other end of the snake wrapped around the rack of hamster cages, struggling to get her to let go of the rack.
I rushed up and helped him subdue her and put her back in the box, where she had slid the glass lid open.
Later I told the professor who owned her, where we had found her.
His reply, with an absolutely deadpan face but with a little humorous sound in his voice, was, "She LIIIKES hamsters!"
