The snake, nearly two meters long and weighing four kg, was identified as a rare Burmese python.

The python with a long head, small body and yellow stripes was found by Trong Vinh, 42, when he opened the trunk of his motorbike at a workshop in Binh Thanh District three days ago. It was shedding its skin.

"I was scared when I saw its head sticking out of the trunk. It was difficult for me to get it out without getting hurt," Vinh said.

Vinh and others had to use a screwdriver to open the motorbike and remove some panels to get the python out.

The python must have come in from the garden next to the workshop, he said.
