Snake on a plane? This is a @TSA X-ray of Bartholomew, a boa constrictor who was in a traveler's carry-on bag at @FlyTPA last month. Woman claimed the snake was her emotional support pet.

TSA agents find some weird stuff in people's luggage...in fact we just did a whole segment on their top finds in 2022.
However, this surprise may be the worst of all.
Agents found a four-foot boa constrictor inside a woman’s luggage.
The snake, named Bartholomew, was found inside the woman's carry-on bag at Tampa International Airport.
The agency posted a photo of the snake on social media with the caption, “Snake on a plane.”
The snake, which was described as an emotional support animal, did not actually get on the plane, which personally is a fact I'd be extremely happy about.
