In addition to a “check engine” light, cars in Florida should come with a “check for snakes” light.
Sgt. Hinkebein and Officer Roy, of Florida’s Clearwater Police Department, were called to address a report of a snake coiled up on the hood of a person’s car.
“Equipped with a snake hook — yes, the sergeant is ever-prepared and carries one in her car — they were able to bravely wrangle the reptilian rascal and take it to a local pet store that will find the boa a proper home,” the Clearwater PD writes in an Instagram post.
Maybe snake oil would actually have a use if it prevented snakes from hanging out on cars.
