A snake slithered out of his car’s AC vents. What the car company said next was totally unexpected

Last week a man in New Hampshire, Simon Sarris, posted a picture of the snake that lives in his Mazda which was giving him “saucy looks”. The tweet went viral with over 17 million views to date and numerous comments about his efforts to get the critter to vacate the vehicle.

The snake, which was a small garter, defied Sarris’ efforts to capture him by slithering into the air vents. He even played music for the reptile, but after twenty minutes of Enya, his mood was still unchanged.

Mazda offers advice to get snake out of car

Not to miss out on the fun, Mazda USA offered its own advice on how Sarris could coax the snake to leave the car: “Try Beyoncé, he looks like a diva,” they posted on social media.

The fact that Mazda USA put in their own two cents got some laughs out those following the travails of Sarris. One X user asked if snakes were a standard feature on the company’s cars nowadays, “or, is this an upcharge?”

What finally did the trick? Sarris explained that he turned on the AC hoping the cold-blooded intruder would seek warmth outside the car. “I figured he wouldn’t like the cold in the vents,” he wrote.

Sarris left all the doors open and cranked the AC. “Mr. snake absconded within 20 minutes,” he shared on social media.
