KUCHING, March 31: A man had an early morning shock today when he discovered a huge five meter-long python curled up cozily inside his vehicle’s engine bay.

The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) were called in to remove the snake from the vehicle at 7.54am.

Firefighters from Batu Lintang station responded to the case, located just next door to the station.

Led by PBK II Brandon Lee, they arrived at the carpark of Batu Lintang Teachers Training College to find the creature still curled up where it was found.

Two of the firefighters then wrestled with the reptile as they coaxed it out of the engine bay, and later released it in a safer location away from the public. — DayakDaily
