Holly Malkames was filling up her vehicle in Kansas, US, when a snake appeared in front of the display.

In the clip, the snake slithers through the bright blue screen which has the message “Thank you for shopping with us today” emblazoned across it.

Only the creature’s underside of its body is seen throughout the chilling experience.

After taking staggered lunges, the reptile disappears behind the pump.

Ms Malkames, who lives in Gardner, Kansas, took to Facebook to share her shock at the bizarre discovery.

She captioned the clip: “Went to get gas and there was a snake inside the pump.

“At one point it even dropped its head down where I could see it.”

Staff at the petrol station later removed the creature.

When they rescued the serpent, its body appeared a lot smaller than it did on the screen.

BIZARRE: The creepy creature slithers through the screen

Holly told KCTV that she first thought the snake was a “trick” video playing on the screen and couldn't believe it was real.

She later added: “I don't want to cause any harm to a gas station's business or create bad publicity. Just sharing how crazy it was that a snake was inside.”

Some 33,000 have since viewed the clip.

One person said: “Snakes are really cool and help keep down the bad rodents and bugs. I am glad it was removed unharmed.”
