Family finds 7-foot snake under car hood
Ed Sisler, humane society director, said the family told staff they were warned about the snake's presence by neighbors who spotted it slithering toward the vehicle, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News reported Wednesday.
"It took the kid a substantial amount of time to untangle it from under the engine," Sisler said.
Sisler said his organization is hoping the owners of the snake, which staff nicknamed "Buddy," will claim their pet. He said the reptile will be offered to educational institutions as a classroom pet if it is not claimed.
"He has an excellent temperament but likes to hiss," Sisler said.

Snake under car hood
This does not come as a surprise, except that the snake is a 7 ft. boa. Snakes are known to crawl up in the motors of cars for warmth shed when the car has been running, and is then shut off. I guess it would be mostly in an area where snakes are dormant, such as swamps, woods, etc.
