A man in Birmingham, West Midlands had to take apart his car to retrieve a snake on July 16 which had slithered inside and refused to leave for three days.

Paul Schmid, 21, spotted the bright orange corn snake curled up in the front grill of his Ford Fiesta after he drove home for work one night.

And despite trying to coax it out and pull it free, the cheeky reptile slithered deep into the car, hiding under the bonnet near the engine.

The waiter spent three days taking apart his car and calling in experts to try and get to the 2ft snake before they were able to rescue it.
