Some fourth-graders at Madison’s Marquette Elementary School got to see something Wednesday they likely never will again — Principal Joy Larson wearing a boa.
Not the fluffy, feathery kind, mind you.
The 45-pound, 8 1/2-foot boa draped around Larson’s neck and shoulders was scaly and very much alive.
The red-tailed boa constrictor was one of three reptiles who took a field trip from their home at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium to promote its new exhibit “Lizard and the Komodo King,” which is on view through February.
