Help!!!

[Victorialanette]

My ball python went up into my steering wheel section of my car. I saw him and then he moved and now I can no longer see him. I called an auto place and they said they couldn't help me because all there staff were scared of snakes. They said though that he couldn't be harmed up there but I need to get him out ASAP! Any suggestions?

Go to a mexican stereo place, theyll tear the car apart and get it out lol why would you let the snake loose in the car..?

Or you could get online and look up how to dismantle you steering column and figure it out yourself.. its not hard

Where are you located? Roughnecking now but usually a mechanic by trade! I can assist if you're in Texas.

Im up around PK, soonest I could head into town would be around Friday or Saturday. (broke ) But Id be more than willing to help then. Also what kind of vehicle is it and can you post pictures of your dash and steering column? Perhaps I can explain it to you over the phone? Theres another user Iv been messaging named Tannertx that lives in Stephenville, drop by my thread and give him a message, could be able to help sooner if needed and willing.

Also it may be pricey, but try giving your manufacturer dealership a call. They usually are more willing to help with more personal problems with vehicles than service centers.

It's an 05 Mitsubishi galant. I have the bottom portion popped open a bit and they guy at the car place said that I was looking at around 6 hours of work to get up in there but I'm afraid he will die in there. I put a small opened shoe box with the bedding in his cage and his favorite hide in it so I'm hoping he will be in there when the car cools off. The woman at petsmart didn't make it seem like it was such a big deal and she said that he would come out eventually but it gets hot in Texas and I'm afraid of that happening.

Depending on the vehicle all you may need is a small flat screw driver to pry open clips and snaps without breaking them.

It it actually up in the mechanical portions of the steering column past the wheel or just in the lower dash cover? 6 hours sounds like total bull:cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: and a way of making you pay for the hassle of dealing with a snake.

Im going to google some things about your vehicle and get a better clue, not really familiar with a lot of imports. More of a domestic man lol

Try adding heat source and water to the box if you can (power inverter and a heat rock?) Luckily temps are cool, but that may be more worrisome. Id only run it off your cars battery or maybe a relatives if willing. I wouldnt start your car due to the heat and vibration.

Take a peak, if youre comfortable doing it yourself this guys pretty detailed. Not sure if the year models similar but it may help.

Ill definitely be using it as a primer if youre unable to get it by then.
