Snake On A Plane! Passenger Leaves Reptile Behind After Alaska flight

Passengers reportedly remain calm as a flight attendant caught the snake and put it in an overhead luggage compartment.


A 4-5 feet long snake was found on an Alaskan commuter flight which is believed to have been left behind by a passenger on an earlier flight.

The reptile was spotted by a little boy, who was climbing on his seat when he saw the sleeping snake partially covered by a duffel bag at the back of the plane.

The pale snake was about 4-5ft long, and, unlike the film 'Snakes On A Plane', luckily wasn't poisonous. According to a passenger, everyone remained calm at the announcement over the intercom.

After discussing with the pilot on how to catch the snake, a flight attendant grabbed it by the belly and dropped it into a plastic rubbish bag.

The reptile then spent the remainder of the journey sleeping peacefully in an overhead luggage compartment till the plane landed on schedule in the city of Anchorage. Obviously a passenger on an earlier flight had forgotten to take his pet with him when he left the plane.
