A woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico, had just left her home early Thursday morning when her car suddenly stalled. A good Samaritan pulled over to help, but when he opened the hood of the car he didn’t find a dead battery. Instead, he found a very much living 9-foot, 20-pound python..
“It was looking right at me. It flicked its little tongue, and I kind of freaked out a little bit,” Jackson Ault said of the discovery.
So Ault and the woman, who wasn't identified, called the local police to help. The first officer on the scene wasn’t anymore interested in dealing with the snake (believed to be a Burmese python) than Ault.
But then police Lt. Louis Carlos showed up and the story suddenly became much less frightening and far more adorable.
“Cool, I want to hold it!” Carlos told local affiliate KOAT about his reaction to seeing the snake. “It was easy for me to just go in there, pick her up and hold onto her and let her feel the warmth of my hands and my body.”

I think she’s gaining the upper hand there! ;-)
And had scarring on its tail.
Probably not doing well on her own with those cool nights.
:-\
We’ll eat him last.

Never let it be said that reptilians are not just! ;^P

We of the snake world are laughing our asses off.
No way it’s 20 feet long.
[and even 15 is a real stretch]
Just...practical.
;D
It looks like that car runs on renewable energy. Dogs and cats. And some smaller humans. lol
It’s the perfect answer to NY’s rat problem.
No need to plug it in...just park it overnight and wait...
Sneaky, even.
Probably not the best vehicle for a chicken farmer.
In the ‘70s one of my coworkers was hitchhiking on an onramp of the 91 freeway. A guy in a Cobra stopped and gave him a lift. The driver punched it and my friend was pinned to the seat like a rocket sled. He nearly wet his pants. Said it scared him so much he didn’t enjoy the ride at all.
The human is drunk, and the snake is taking her home.
Nope.
The snake’s name is Twinkie.
:)
LMAO
ITS SNAKES!!!! UNDER THE HOOD........
