A mechanic at a South Carolina dealership service department got a big surprise when he popped the hood of a Ford Focus and found an eight-foot-long boa constrictor inside the engine bay. The owner of the car had taken it in for routine maintenance and had no idea about the snake. A professional snake wrangler was called in to remove the reptile, which appeared to be in good shape but a little malnourished. It is believed to be an escaped pet.
