The sudden appearance of a snake on the plane spooked passengers on Monday at the end of a flight from the Florida city of Tampa to New Jersey and called workers at Newark Liberty International Airport to capture the cow. this close.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement that the airport’s wildlife operations officer and Port State Police Department officers boarded United Flight 2038 at the gate and removed the “garter snake.” ” and then released it into the wild, according to The Washington Post.

The statement added that no one was injured and operations were not affected.

In a statement, United said passengers alerted cabin crew about the snake, and the airline “called the appropriate authorities to address the situation.”

The Washington Times quoted a New Jersey local media source, News 12 New Jersey, as saying that passengers flying in business class spotted the snake while the plane was turning after landing. According to the broadcaster, passengers started screaming and standing up.

After the snake was removed, passengers with luggage and the plane were searched for any other reptiles crawling on board and found none, Simple Flying said.

The Washington Times cites the Florida Museum of Natural History as saying the common garter snake is found in every Florida county and is not venomous or aggressive towards humans. The snakes, which are typically 18 to 26 inches long, will tend to avoid direct contact with people or pets and only bite if “intentionally molting.”

The Washington Times reports that Garter snakes are also common in New Jersey, citing the pamphlet “Snakes of New Jersey” published by the state.

In February, a similar incident took place on an AirAsia flight in Malaysia when passengers spotted a snake while the plane was in the air. The viral Tik Tok video from the flight shows the reptile inside a light fixture above the passenger.

Meanwhile, in 2016, a large snake – believed to be a venomous viper – emerged from an overhead compartment on an Aeromexico flight in Mexico, according to The Washington Post. Video posted by a passenger on Twitter shows the creature hanging from the ceiling of the plane, which was given priority to land on arrival in Mexico City.
