Social media is a great platform if you want to learn something new or have a laugh or hear terrifying news. If you haven’t already heard the story from social media about a woman who posted pictures of a snake crawling out of her car’s A/C while she was driving, now you know. Yes, we are just as terrified. Owning a vehicle means that all sorts of crawlers can get into your Clermont Toyota, like ants. Here at Toyota of Clermont, we’re here to answer your questions about everything from how to avoid snakes getting into your car to what to do if you find one in your car. Let’s discuss.
Answering the question, Can snakes get into your car?
Yes, snakes, unfortunately, can get into your car – especially in Florida since we have a decent-sized snake population and lots of new construction that’s pushing them from their habitats. They usually get in from your Clermont Toyota’s engine compartment because of their inclination towards dark, warm places. Snakes are cold-blooded, so they have to seek warmth from external sources like your warm engine! Believe it or not, they like to hide out from predators, so it’s a safe place for them.
How to avoid snakes getting into your car?
The good news is that it’s an improbable event that a snake is going to climb through your A/C system since your HVAC system is sealed from the outside. Since it’s sealed from the outside, it makes it super hard for things to get through it. So how exactly do you avoid snakes getting into your car? Well, it’s simple enough. Make sure to keep your windows and doors closed the majority of the time, and you should be set to go.
What to do if you find a snake in your car?
Uh oh, so you found a snake in your car, and now you’re trying to figure out what to do ... We got you! Here are some tips to help you find the snake and get it out of your Clermont Toyota!
Don’t grab it with your hands. Instead, use a long pole, like a broom or stick outside, to remove it from your car. You don’t want it to bite you, so be careful!
If you can’t get it – don’t fear! Call animal control or wildlife services to help you get it out of your Clermont Toyota.
Please don’t leave it in the engine compartment for it to figure out its way out of it. It can cause moving belts and electrical fires, so it needs to be removed as soon as possible.
