Getting a large one out is practically impossible - at least extracting the reptile in one piece and alive is.

Unfortunately, it appears that this snake didn’t survive the ordeal, but not through lack of the car owner’s care. Wrapping itself around sharp objects likely didn’t help its chances of survival.
