The homeowner summoned Si Racha rescuers to her home and they were recorded on video as they carefully extracted the venomous reptile, which turned out to be 16 feet long. "The snake might have come from the cassava field nearby or it might have been within the car me and joined my ride. That thought really freaked me out," Kaewthongchaijaruen said. The snake was released back into the wild. Read More Exotic snake captured in surprised resident's garden Escaped python invades couple's bedroom Florida woman finds snake among laundry in the dryer
