Snakes are Tamil Archivesnot allowed in the cabins of planes. That very sensible and safe rule should be a comfort to passengers everywhere, and yet, here we are. Another damn snake on another damn plane.

Snakes are, somehow, able to be snuck on planes when their owners are hellbent on traveling with their companion—a comfort to them, perhaps, but absolutely no one else. That owner can then super casually forget said snake in the overhead compartment, letting it slither free right on through to the next flight.

That's exactly where this story begins: a forgotten snake peeking out during a flight to Alaska, according to the Associated Press.

The snake in question was spotted by a 5-year-old boy who, it can be assumed, was either thrilled or terrified depending on what kind of kid he is.

Shortly thereafter, the pilot announced over the loudspeaker: "Guys, we have some loose snake on the plane, but we don't know where it is," which is really up there in scary things you don't want to hear your pilot say while flying over a very cold ocean.

Luckily for the passengers, the snake wasn't venomous. In fact, "mostly, it was sleepy."

I suppose if there's to be a snake on a plane, a sleepy one is best.

According to passenger Anna McConnaughy, there was no panic, and "mostly people wanted to see the snake"—a sentiment that could probably only exist on a flight to the wild frontier of Alaska to begin with.

The snake was gently wrangled into a plastic trash bag by a flight attendant, where it spent the rest of the journey comfortably resting back in the overhead compartment. The plane arrived in Anchorage on time.

Somewhere, Samuel L. Jackson feels obsolete and sighs.
