About 10 years ago my sister drove from Montana to Oregon after visiting and camping.
When she got near her home, she heard a noise under the driver’s seat.
She pulled over and a good Samaritan stopped to help.
He opened the driver’s door and a 5-foot diamond back slithered out of the car.
She figured it was in there since camping in Montana.
Years ago I caught a one eyed ~ 6’ bull snake stuffed it in a pillow case that apparently was rotten. On the way home it tore out when I stopped for fuel and wrapped around the pedals and was headed under the dash when I discovered it.
A guy on the opposite pump was rather amused watching the spectacle and asked if I was knew it was in the truck or if it just hitched a ride.
Named it SVL. Snake Very Large.
Yikes! That’s a scary one - glad she’s safe ...
