Python in trouble

8th Octobert 2005 - Sue Ulyatt

A slow drive down his driveway, became quite an ordeal for the driver of the car when he too late discovered a Python across the drive way, too late to stop, he skidded over the snake.

Out of the car he went, only to discover the snake was no where to be seen, he realised the snake may have slid up under the bonnet of the car. Opening the bonnet confirmed his first thought. The snake was indeed under the bonnet.

Rick went out to rescue this snake that had sustained injuries in the accident. It was operated on at the Vet, and is currently in care with a snake carer. It should have a complete recovery and will be released close to where it was simply crossing the road, this time away from the road though.
