A small, non-venomous snake, identified as a black snake, slipped into the carry-on bag at a man at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida, writes Fox News.

According to the man, he did not know that there was a snake in his backpack until he arrived at his accommodation rented on Maui and found it.

Although this snake was only about 3 feet long (90 cm), the black runner can be up to 5 feet (150 cm) in length. They are usually found on the east coast of the United States.

According to the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, transporting such a snake to Hawaii is illegal because it does not have natural predators in this island state and is a threat to wildlife and the environment.
