This is the terrifying moment a huge python emerged on of a moving car's windscreen.

Footage shows the serpent rearing up its head and half its body while the terrified driver travelled at night in Krabi province, southern Thailand, on December 27.

The killer reptile appeared confused and didn't know where to go when it came out of its hiding hole so it disappeared back inside.

Driver Chalermphon said he immediately pulled over on the nearest stop and called the emergency services. The python had already disappeared though.

Chalermphon said: ‘I was driving on a road and then I saw the snake in front of my car. I was so scared.

‘What if it found a way inside while the car was moving? It could have cased a bad accident.

'Now I'm wary of driving. I keep looking around the car to see if there are any snakes inside. It was a very scary drive back home that night.'

The reticulated python is found throughout Southeast Asia, where they live in forests, swamps, canals and even in cities, causing them to come into conflict with humans. The species is one of the world's largest snakes and can eat humans, cats, dogs, birds, rats and other snakes.
