On Saturday morning, Joe Reed of Stoughton, MA popped the hood of his pickup truck to check the fluids and was greeted with something much more terrifying than low levels. Instead, he saw a five-foot-long boa constrictor just chillin’ on top of his engine. Reed said that he didn’t initially see the beast, which is hard to believe because, again, it’s five freakin’ feet long! After being startled and jumping back to a safe distance, Reed then called Animal Control. A police officer showed up and the two of them were successfully able to remove the snake from the engine bay with the help of a mop handle and place it safely in a garbage can.
Reed believes that the snake was either a pet that escaped or one that was intentionally released into the wild.
