PEARLAND, TX (KTRK) -- Pest control is on the way to the Best Buy parking lot in Pearland after an employee found that a snake slithered its way up in his car engine.

Deputies called the wildlife department for assistance, but they said they would not respond because the 4-foot Western Rat snake is in its natural environment. Instead, pest control will have to help.

A photo of the snake was taken before it went inside the Best Buy employee's SUV.
