Teresa Beers had traveled nearly 2,000 miles through nine states when she learned she had a passenger-a 4 1/2-foot python.
The non-poisonous snake appeared Tuesday, wrapped around the steering wheel, in the rental car Beers had driven from her home near Melbourne, Fla., to her parents` cottage in upstate New York near Rochester.
”When I realized it was alive, I ran out of the passenger side of the car,” she said. The 4-pound python apparently had stowed away in the car in Melbourne, left there by the previous renter.
