A python which vanished from a house in Deventer six months ago has turned up hiding in the car of its owner Raymond Oosterbroek, reports Friday’s Telegraaf.

Oosterbroek had driven over 3,000 km with the python hiding in the car.
The snake was found in the Volvo S40 by second-hand car salesman Marten van Kastel, who was taking photos of it for his company’s website.
‘I thought at first it was a leaf, but then I saw the snake’s head,’ Van Kastel told the paper. ‘Then it moved. I nearly jumped out of my skin.’
