"I have a boa constrictor stuck to my face," the woman can be heard saying in the 911 call. She later revealed during the call that she had rescued two boa constrictors the day before, adding to her collection of nine -- yes nine -- ball pythons.

Firefighters from the Sheffield Lake Fire Department in Ohio were dispatched to assist the unnamed 45-year-old woman on Thursday, who was found lying in her driveway with a 5-foot boa constrictor around her neck, local CBS affiliate Cleveland 19 reports.

It's unclear how the constrictor was able to attack the woman, but local reporters discovered an enclosure in the woman's driveway on Friday.
