Get your Samuel L Jackson gags ready because an actual snake hitched a ride on an actual plane.

The reptile was found on the tarmac at New Zealand’s Auckland Airport yesterday having arrived as an uninvited guest on a private jet from Brisbane, Australia, the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) said.
