Can Snakes Enter the Car Through the Chassis?

Snakes generally do not enter the car through the chassis. Here is an introduction to the car chassis: 1. Introduction: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a car. 2. Function: It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal driving. 3. Related functions: The role of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the engine's power to make the car move and ensuring normal driving.
From my repair experience, the chassis can indeed become an entry point for snakes into the vehicle. The underside of a car is designed with cooling vents and wiring channels, and these gaps are perfectly sufficient for small snakes. Especially when parked near grassy areas or in damp environments, snakes seek warm and dry places to nest, with the engine compartment and air conditioning ducts being their favorite spots. Just last week, I handled an SUV that was inhabited by a snake—the owner had parked near a wetland park for two days and later found a small water snake in the glove box. For vehicles parked outdoors long-term, it's advisable to install an undercarriage protection net, and always remember to walk around the car to check for ground traces before parking.
