According to Channel News Asia Singapore, &nbsp;a car owner brought their vehicle in for an Inspection at an STA Inspection Centre told the car inspectors that she had seen the Head of a Snake lodged in the Wheel well of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42 size-full\" src=\"\" alt=\"Python Found under vehicle During Car inspection\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/pdxcarinspectors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/python-found-under-car-during-car-inspection.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>You can imagine what was going through the car inspectors head as they slide under the vehicle and pulled out a 1.5 Meter (5ft) Python Snake! We would&rsquo;ve been horrified! But if you watch in the video, the inspector\/s handle the snake very carefully to not endure any bites or problems from the snake. It took 2 people to pull the snake out from under the vehicle and moved to a holding bag that was ready.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&#038;version=v2.3\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-video\" data-allowfullscreen=\"1\" data-href=\"\/ChannelNewsAsiaSingapore\/videos\/vb.93889432933\/10152973311312934\/?type=3\"><\/div>\n<p>From the looks of it though, no snakes were harmed in the process and according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ACRESasia\/\">ACRES&rsquo; Wildlife Rescue Centre<\/a> director, Anbarasi Boopal, this type of snake was common in the region and mainly feed on rats. She also said that &ldquo;When we try to approach (snakes), they will try to move away and hide. In five minutes or so we caught the python. We didn&rsquo;t want the python to go (further) under the car &ndash; then it would be very difficult to rescue the python,&rdquo; and according to her, &ldquo;It is possible that the python might have just come up from one of the drains, then went into hiding until the place is clear for them to come out.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure you can imagine the terror that the owner of the vehicle went through knowing that there is a snake very close to the interior of her vehicle. Good thing they took the vehicle to an <a href=\"https:\/\/pdxcarinspectors.com\">inspection station<\/a> to get the snake properly removed, or this could&rsquo;ve ended up as another movie Plot &ndash; &ldquo;Snakes in a Car&rdquo;!<\/p>\n<p>If you or anyone you know has issues with rodents or debris lodged up in their vehicle, give us a call and we&rsquo;ll help you sort the issues out.
