snakes in a car!More than 20 garter snakes found in Oregon woman’s vehicle
ASTORIA, Ore. - A slithery surprise found in a car at a grocery store parking lot may have been a prank rather than the work of Mother Nature — and if it was, it turned into a prank that kept on surprising.

Sherry Hart found a pair of garter snakes in the back seat of her car on a recent shopping trip, only to find more under a floor mat.

"This lady was freaking out next to her car," says Will Brinkerhoff, 17, an employee at the North Coast Fred Meyer.

‘They just keep coming and coming’
When Hart and her granddaughter drove home, "two snakes fell out of the dashboard right where my feet were," Hart said.

She and her granddaughter put the snakes in a bucket and dumped them in a vacant lot across the street from Hart's home in downtown Warrenton, just a block from City Hall.

The next day, after a friend pulled off some paneling inside the car, they found yet another big snake. The day after that, three more snakes emerged from her car's innards. One of them bit her as she was pulling it out of the dashboard.

"I'm not afraid of snakes. But when they just keep coming and coming, you kind of get a little paranoid," Hart said.
