A sneaky snake has been discovered curled up inside a car engine, but like the driver, you’d be forgiven for not spotting it at first glance.
A 4ft 9in diamondback python was found snugly snuggled up in her new mobile home in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Snake catcher Tony Morrison, 40, was sent to remove the reptile, which he believes had crawled into the engine from the ground after eating.
Tony, who has been catching snakes for 20 years, added that a snake could lurk under the hood for days if no one bothers it.
He said: “The man who called us said he had just done general maintenance on his bonnet and was very surprised to see a snake.”
Tony said that the snake would get into the car to digest its feast.

He said: “It was just a nice space for him to kick back and relax after eating his food.
“It was just another normal day for us. I always like to do things like this.
“I guess in Australia you not only have to check where you’re walking, but now you have to check under the hood of the car.”

He confirmed that the snake was healthy and it was later released into nearby bushes.
Although they are not venomous, diamondback pythons can grow up to four meters in length.
Tony added that Australia is entering snake season as the weather warms, saying he has recently been called “three or four times a day” to remove snakes from homes, schools and workplaces.
