I saw a snake under the front of our car and tried using a stick to get it away but it crawled up, opened the bonnet but I couldn't find it anywhere, It was gone when we went out in the car that afternoon, (i hope)

Our old water pump motor stopped working, pulled it apart and had to remove the stinky remains of a small snake wound up inside the motor.

Not a snake story but I reckon it was a mouse, Something got into the vents and into the fan housing inside the car.
