'I Just Felt Something Cold on Me!' Python Hitches Ride with Australian Farmer

An Australian farmer was alarmed to find a python hitching a ride alongside him during a drive on his property in Goomburra, Queensland, video posted to TikTok showed.

Corie Ross filmed the moment a python slithered across the floor of the buggy he was driving, eventually making its way to the dashboard before wrapping itself around a support pillar. Ross stops the buggy and relocates the snake to a nearby bush.

Ross recounted the event as one of the extraordinary things that can happen on a daily basis when on a farm.

CORIE ROSS: [MUTED] I just felt something cold on me. Oh, yep, it's in my buggy. Oh. Be cool. Be cool. Be cool. Don't do anything stupid, snake. [INAUDIBLE].

Ugh. Nothing like an ice cold feeling against your ribs as you take off for the morning. OK, so if I stop--

OK. I'll just get out here. OK, OK, mister. What'll I do with you? Gonna come nicely? OK. No, no, no. Come here, come here. No place for you there.

Come this way. Stay that way please. OK, look, there's some nice bushes for you to go in there.
