Hissing sound in my engine? (with pics)

I told the mechanic it needed a new SERPENTINE belt, not a SERPENT belt!

Hey Guys, I didn't make it in to work till 1:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday. Check out the pictures and you'll see why....yes, this really did happen! I'm not sure if it's a python or a boa constrictor. Let me know what you think. Enjoy,

Benny...

...Weeellllll, it happened to the snake, but it was in my car and I was driving. I was going down 44 to work when I heard a pop. That pop was either my power steering belt that snapped or the snake busting open. I'm guessing probably a bit of both. Of course, at this point I had no idea that there was a snake under my hood. I'm still baffled by the fact that the odds of a 4ft. Python (or boa) snapping off your power steering belt in your car while it's moving is probably about a million to 1....and waddaya know, it happened to my car!!!
