quote:Scottish airport staff got a slithery surprise when they stumbled on a Mexican serpent stowaway under a seat.
The Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says quick-thinking workers at Glasgow Airport remained "remarkably calm" when they discovered the 18-inch (45-centimetre) snake Tuesday under seats in the passenger cabin of a flight from Cancun, Mexico.
I heard about it earlier on the local radio. I don't know why Glasgow Airport just didn't contact me directly. I'm only 10 minutes from there and could have saved Fiona the trouble of traipsing around.
It's a Smooth Scaled Racer and is a pretty little thing.
