Airport Staff Finds A Mexican Snake On Plane
Scottish airport staff got a slithery surprise when they stumbled on a Mexican serpent stowaway under a seat.
The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says quick-thinking workers at Glasgow Airport remained “remarkably calm” when they discovered the 18-inch (45-centimeter) snake Tuesday under seats in the passenger cabin of a flight from Cancun, Mexico.
It says the young snake was taken to its Glasgow animal center, and has been named Furtivo, Spanish for “sneak.”
It said Friday that Furtivo, a member of the Dryadophis family of snakes, was non-venomous but “feisty.” The snake may have snuck onto the plane before take-off, or hitched a ride in a passenger’s hand luggage.
The society says Furtivo will remain in its care until an expert home can be found.

Even sneaks are stowaways how? I remember another drama around when a passanger had tumbled nappies 4 her baby in the bush wen the train had a stop over wen picking her nappies wrapped a sneak also and it came out of her baby bag.stampade in the locomotive, passangers scamping out the windows.she was mistakenly suspected witch and was arrested. Of such happens.
