A family in Singapore had an unexpected and spine-chilling encounter with a snake while driving through the city, capturing the attention of many on social media. The startling moment, which saw the snake perched on the car’s side-view mirror, has gone viral, sparking a range of reactions from amazement to fear.
The video footage begins with the snake initially seen on the car’s windshield as it travels through traffic. As the car stops at a traffic light, the snake smoothly slides onto the driver’s side mirror, prompting a child in the backseat to scream in shock. Despite the frightened yells from the children, the adults in the car remained calm, with the driver even expressing admiration for the snake’s vibrant color, calling it “very beautiful.”
While the snake coiled around the mirror and lifted its head, seemingly observing its surroundings, the family continued their journey, with the children pleading for it to leave. The situation added a humorous twist as the children’s repeated requests contrasted with the adults’ composed reactions.
The viral clips were soon shared on the Singapore Wildlife Sightings Facebook page, where they quickly gained attention. Reactions online were divided, with some praising the calmness of the driver and others expressing their own fear. “What a stunning creature! Kudos to the driver for staying calm,” one user commented, while another joked, “I would’ve abandoned the car right there!” Some users empathized with the children, while others marveled at the snake’s striking appearance, saying, “Such vibrant colors, nature at its best.”
In lighthearted responses, users also joked about the situation, with one saying, “Imagine trying to explain this to your insurance company!” and another quipping, “The snake clearly just wanted a ride.”
