This was the moment rescuers pulled a wriggling wild snake from a vintage Toyota.

The 1980 Corolla E70 was parked outside a market in Udon Thani, Thailand, while owner Sunan Taplek bought food.

A passer-by noticed the copperhead rat snake slither into the engine and alerted Sunan when he returned on July 13.

Animals handlers arrived and spent an hour trying to coax the serpent from the iconic Japanese car.

It finally emerged wriggling furiously and spreading its jaws as the rescuers battled to contain the non-venomous reptile.

Sunan said: ''I like snakes and I'm relieved I didn't drive away with it in the engine.

''The snake must have liked my car. I've had it for about 20 years and never had a problem. This is the first snake in the engine though.''

The rat snake was released unharmed into nearby fields.
