Snake found hidden under car caught in SS2, Petaling Jaya

A 12-foot python snake found under a car parked in Jalan SS2/24 in Petaling Jaya was caught by a snake catcher on 19th March 2011.

Firemen from the Fire and Rescue Station rushed to the scene after receiving a distress call.

A big crowd of few hundreds gathered to watch the drama causing a traffic jam along the busy Jalan SS2/24.

After two hours, the firemen and members of the public who assisted were still unable to remove the snake.

The car owner hopped into his car and drove off to a short distance in Jalan SS2/30 with the snake still in the car and followed closely behind by firemen in their vehicle.

He parked his vehicle by the side of the road hoping the reptile would slither out but it didn’t. It was not sure if the firemen gave up but they left the scene with the snake still in the car!


A “snake king” (snake catcher) who saw the incident offered to dislodge the snake for free but on condition he took home the catch. It was a deal done.

The ‘snake king’ was allowed to finish his job. He lit a small pot containing powder, believed to be sulphur or wood dust from joss stick, went under the car and smoked the snake out of hiding.

About ten minutes later and some wrangled, the snake lost its hold on the car and the ‘snake king’ successfully pulled the snake out with all his strength. He put the snake into a canvas bag, tied it tightly and placed it on the front carriage of his motorcycle before he sped off.

It is believed that the snake is worth about RM800 in the market. Some people believe that snake soup, snake meat and snake blood have a number of good effects on the body, especially good for libido.

How did such a large snake get into SS2? It is unimaginable.

Experts believe that the snake is either caught elsewhere or simply a pet that got loose since SS2 is a bustling commercial area and has no forest nearby.
