A garter snake was removed from flight 2038 as passengers shrieked and lifted their feet around 1:15 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17 on the runway, according to SimpleFlying and Port Authority police.

The little guy was released into the wild near the airport.

The plane, which had arrived from Tampa, FL, was then searched for additional serpents, SimpleFlying says. None were found. It wasn't immediately clear how the snake made it on the plane.
