The pickup truck owner had driven the vehicle from Mesa to Scottsdale and noticed the snake's head poking out from under the truck after parking. The giant snake was placed in a box and turned over to the Arizona Herpetological Society for care.

Cpt. Folio said crews removed the truck's undercarriage skid plate to get the snake out. "Thankfully, the snake was unharmed during the process," read a portion of Cpt. Folio's statement.
