So today at work, a little after lunch, I was given a work order.
"Cust. sts Remove Dash and Extract Snake."
I say "What the ****?!?!?"
Immediatley go to my boss. He's just like me, baffled.
So I grab the keys and go to this car. I open the door and look down and there she sits, wedged over the A/C box and everything.
I am not even asking how it got there, cuz its a big damn snake.
So I get in the car (that was towed in btw) and proceed to cautiously drive it in. I can hear the very aggitated snake trying to wiggle out as I drive.
Get the car in the shop (a Mercury Grand Marquis) and start to get to work.
Removed the front seats and started on the dash. Oh yea, when i start on the dash, I am really twitchy and freaked the **** out.
I look to see where its head is at before I disconnect the steering. It seems fine. I put my air rachet in there and BAM! i'm bit. [:@] Hits my left middle finger. Bleeding quite nicely now. So much for a clean battle.
Wrap it up and back to work. After about 3 hours of slow moving, I get the dash loose andmeand another guypull it out.
Now let me make note that besides the guy (who brought his ********* to work) helping me, every one else in the dealership, including the owner, is about 10 feet from the car just watching.
Ok, dash is out. I now see just what I am dealing with.
He's ONLY about 4 feet... maybe 5.
[sm=badidea.gif]so now we decide to tag team and knab him.
I lunge towards the head and grab then neck while my partner grabs the tail.
Somehow our efforts worked and the snake is now in our possesion.
He place him in an emptied 55gallon drum and breathe relief.

Now to put the car back together.

God damn what a day.

 

wow thats crazy. what area do you live in? are snakes common around there?

 

Louisiana.
It was the mans pet, but it got out its tank while he was driving and slithered up there.
How it just "got out" beats me, seems fishy, but i dont care, i made my money.

 

Was it the owner's pet snake or was it something that managed to crawl in the car somehow? Either way that's some crazy shyt.

 

enough said..

what kinda snake was it? my bets on a corn snake, common pet, and they can get pretty big

 

Python.

 

When I was reading and writing the post he posted that SHEESH cut me some slack here lol

 

aaah Pythons arent all that bad.

Maybe you can get some money out of it?

 

are you suggesting sewing, sebba?
^^^
i probably spelled that wrong

 

YES!
The American way! Sue the mother ****er!
Naw, i'm alright. It was crazy enough as is.
Besides, I doubt I would have enough legal grounds to file suit against him.
The only thing that could happen is he get charged with animal neglect.
**** it.
