'Snake On A Plane' Just Happened In Real Life

Travelers on a Sunday commuter flight in Alaska got a special announcement: There was a snake on the plane , but the crew didn’t know where.

A previous passenger had alerted local airline Ravn Alaska  that he may have left his snake onboard, a Ravn spokesman told HuffPost. Passengers soon found the snake sleeping under a bag near the back of the plane, ABC News reports.

After a young boy spotted the snake, a pilot held a garbage bag while a flight attendant wrangled the snake inside , passenger Anna McConnaughy told ABC. The reptile spent the rest of the flight in an overhead bin. 

The snake’s owner had not registered his pet for travel per Ravn’s policy , the spokesman said.

“Ravn Alaska has specific requirements for carry-on of reptiles and rodents,” he told HuffPost in a statement. “We are proud of the quick-acting flight crew for handling the situation.”

The flight from Aniak, Alaska to Anchorage landed on time. Ssstupendous.
