This is the terrifying moment a huge python slithered over a taxi parked under a tree in Thailand.

Spine-tingling footage shows the humongous 16ft-long snake dragging itself across the windshield of the yellow cab in Nonthaburi province on December 14.

The snake later crossed over to the tree's branches after three minutes.

The terrified taxi driver who cowered inside the vehicle as the killer reptile emerged said he was afraid it would kill him.

He said: 'I didn't dare go outside because the snake was huge, so I took a video of it on my phone and waited for it to go away.

'I felt like I was in a horror movie.'

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.
