A 15-foot yellow python weighing 85 pounds had to be pulled from a parked car’s engine Saturday night. After more than two hours, the Garland Animal Control Officer safely captured the python.
It was around 11 p.m. Saturday when Alejandro Jaramillo, the Garland Animal Control Officer, got a call.
“They just told me that it was gonna be a snake. I did not know that when I would arrive, it would be a 15-foot python,” Jaramillo said.

I will never understand people who have snakes as pets
The owner will only have to pay a standard impound fee before being reunited with their pet.
There’s barely enough room inside an engine for 5 quarts of oil. I don’t see how a 15 foot snake could fit inside even a diesel truck engine. Of course if you have never worked on an engine you might imagine a snake being able to get inside of it, or you might think that the area under the front hood is called the engine.
“I will never understand people who have snakes as pets”
Me either......and when they don’t want ‘em anymore they let em loose which is why the Everglades is overrun with Burmese Pythons.
Its impossible.
The dam thing was within the engine compartment most likely.
Ping!.................
The snake was under the hood wrapped around the warm engine is what it was.
Bad Bad reporting. Did anyone there speak English? You have to read the article to learn that the python wasn’t FOUND in the engine (compartment) but apparently it was found on the ground and when they tried to capture it, it crawled up there beneath the car...Before I read it, I was going to ask HOW they knew it was there!
Click bait.
Ugh, gross.
Thanks for the information. I was wondering the same thing myself (who routinely checks their engine compartment before starting the car?), but didn’t want to click on some ad- and cookie-riddled website.
I think they are mostly men who are, um, compensating...
Snakes for pets is mainly for low IQ people.
“ The snake was under the hood wrapped around the warm engine is what it was.”
Cats get under hoods of cars for the same reason. When they lay in the fan shroud against the radiator it ends badly for the cat when someone starts the vehicle.
Found this out the hard way….🙀
Always open hood and check engine compartment for a bomb if you are getting a divorce.
I’m not (and never have), so no worries there.
There’s a guy in South Africa who does youtube videos showing him catching black mambas and other outrageously lethal snakes from people’s homes,yards and cars. It’s interesting seeing where they hide and how they get into these places.Really fascinating stuff.
Exactly what I was hollering at the screen about. No one there spoke English. As if the author couldn’t have cleaned it up a bit... ah, checked her name, so that would be a no.
Any of the neighbors missing pets, grandmas or toddlers?
Perhaps the car owner was keeping it as a spare in case the serpentine belt broke.
