A motorist was shocked after he went to start his car and found a 5ft long monitor lizard hiding under the engine.<br /><br />Sompon Pitaksong, 48, climbed inside his pick-up truck on Monday (January 21) evening before hearing rustling coming from under his feet. <br /><br />He thought there could be a problem with the wheel chassis, and bent down to investigate - before noticing the reptile's tail hanging down. <br /><br />The shocked father-of-two called the emergency services who arrived at the home in Chachoengsao, Thailand, and dragged the beast out onto the front drive.<br /><br />Sompon said: ''I'm relieved that I didn't start the car engine and drive away or it could have been very bad for the lizard. It's lucky that we found him and took him out.<br /><br />''My truck is quite new so I can understand why the lizard was attracted to it.''<br /><br />The monitor lizard was put inside a canvas sack and driven away to be released back into the wild.
