Snake removed from car engine
A snake that was soaking up heat inside a Florida car engine has been safely relocated to its natural habitat.
LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. - A snake is back in its natural habitat after curling up inside a car engine in Southwest Florida.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office got a call earlier this week from someone saying a 15-20-foot python was entangled in the engine compartment of a vehicle in Lehigh Acres.
When a sergeant, who is a licensed python contractor showed up, he discovered a much smaller, red rat snake underneath the hood of the car.
He said the reptile was soaking up heat in the engine bay.
