It felt like a five foot long, five-inch thick snake

Do Boas go with Minis? Maybe Gok Wan can help us here

And so it was.

MOT technician, Wayne Hunt put his hand under thebonnet to fidn the catch release and felt "something that was rather out of place", something soft but muscular to the touch.

When he opened the bonnet, a Boa Constrictor was happily snoozing in the warm, dark bits of the Mini.
It happened at the Bosch Car Service garage in Carringtons of Oxford, UK.

“We immediately called the RSPCA to collect the snake, since it didn’t belong to the customer and we had no idea who owned it," said Wayne.

“The snake was dealt with properly and luckily it had done no damage to the car. The RSPCA told us that it looked thinner than it normally would, which could meant it had been living under the bonnet for a while. In all the years I have worked as a vehicle technician, I’ve never seen anything like it” the Bosch technician added.
