A boa spooked mechanics after it was found hiding inside a pickup truck that was in the workshop for maintenance.
The case occurred in Serra, in the metropolitan region of Vitória, in the state of Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil. The animal was discovered by workshop employees when the hood was opened.
After the unusual discovery, the mechanics contacted the Environmental Police and the Serra Environment Department, who sent officers to the site to recover the snake.
In a video shared on social media, the boa can be seen to have wrapped itself around one of the vehicle’s wheels. Fortunately he was recovered without injuries.
After recovery, the reptile was released in an environmental protection area in Mestre Álvaro. It is worth remembering that, despite its size, the boa is a species of snake that is harmless to humans.
