There were almost Snakes on a Plane in Miami when Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers found a bag of reptiles hidden in a passenger’s pants.
TSA officers called U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Miami-Dade Police to “assist” when they made the unexpected discovery of a “bag of snakes” at Miami International Airport on April 26, officials said.

The animals were identified as juvenile palmetto corn snakes by a commenter.
The species are not venomous and are found across the eastern and southeastern U.S., including Florida.
