A flight was canceled after a live snake was found inside an
aircraft at Fukuoka Airport in Japan. It was later identified as a juvenile
Japanese striped snake, a nonvenomous species.
Japan Air Commuter (JAC) said a mechanic spotted the
approximately 40-centimeter-long snake under the aircraft's carpet around 1 pm
local time on Monday. Experts later identified the snake, which was then
captured.
It is not known how the snake entered the aircraft. JAC said
this was the first such incident...
