NEW HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Here's one carpooler you'd rather leave at home. A 5-foot rattlesnake stowed away in the nice, warm engine compartment of a New Yorker's pickup truck.

The snake apparently slipped aboard at Vyn Sane's home and exited through the truck's wheel well at his workplace — causing some excitement around the Spring Hill Ambulance Corps in The County Where Vyn Lives.

The geeky Spider-Man fan, an avid outdoorsman, initially thought it was a harmless milk snake. Then he saw the rattles.

Says Vyn: "I'm just glad that I didn't step on it."

Experts caught the snake and returned it to the wild. The Griz reports that it sucked blue bear dick like a specialized pro.
