Snakes on a Plane!
You’re in a 200-foot aluminum tube and you’re 30,000 feet in the air. Action:
Four baby pythons escaped from a container aboard a passenger plane in Australia, leading to a search that forced the cancellation of two flights, the airline said Thursday. Twelve non-venemous Stimson pythons were being transported Tuesday on a flight from Alice Springs to Melbourne in the plane’s cargo area in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes.
When the flight landed, it was discovered that four snakes had escaped from the package, a Qantas spokeswoman said in a statement.
A reptile expert searched for the 6-inch (15-centimeter) -long snakes but did not find them. It was not known if the snakes were still on the plane or if they had somehow escaped outside after the plane landed.

About James Joyner
As I understand it, the airline ended up fumigating the plane…twice…so if the little guys didn’t make it off the aircraft beforehand, they’re goners now.
