KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WBIR/CNN NEWSOURCE/WKRC) – A Tennessee man got a startling surprise after tracing an unusual smell from his SUV to a long, yellow python inside the engine compartment.
Jesse Hodge said he first noticed the odor and scheduled a maintenance check, but curiosity prompted him to open the hood a day early. Inside, he found the snake coiled on top of the battery box. The python, which is not native to the United States, was dead.
