There should be a matchmaker service for this. For every unsuspecting person who stumbles across an exotic snake there's gotta be a herp nut like me who'd think it was the coolest thing ever.
The was an episode of Crocodile Hunter a about 10 years ago where this happened, except it wasn't a python the guy found, it was a brown snake (very venomous). I would be so excited if that happened to me! New pet!!!
I find it strange that they used brake fluid to coax the snake out of the bumper. That stuff is pretty nasty and caustic as well. Any mechanic can tell you about what brake fluid will do to paint, I can't imagine that it's very healthy for the snake!
