From where, some
guests at an airport departure lounge in the Philippines were shocked to find a
snake slithering through the area as they waited to board their flights.
Passengers
waiting at the Daniel Z Romualdez Airport were confronted by the reptile in the
airport’s main terminal.
The
snake, a black rat snake – sparked panic in the travellers passing through the
terminal, the Independent reports.
Though
the type of snake is not venomous, it was still alarming to see it winding
under seats and across the floor.
Airport
security used a long pole to trap the snake before putting it into a bag. The
snake was reportedly released back into the wild.
”The
snake was also not harmed and it’s now safe. We don’t know how it got past
security.. And it was not even certain if it was dropped at the airport
departure lounge by a pranking passenger
”There
was a bit of commotion but it settled down and no planes were affected. There
was no danger to any passengers,” an airport official said in a comment to the
Independent.
The
management of the airport has released a statement in that respect and assured
passengers using the airport of their safety.
