Is this a publicity stunt for the upcoming movie? Nah. But it is weird that snakes are showing up on planes for reals:
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- There really was a snake on a plane -- and a poisonous one at that. Dutch customs officials found a live poisonous snake in a package sent by airmail from Hong Kong to a collector in the Netherlands. Officials said customs inspectors thought the snake was a rubber gag gift when they first scanned the package. However, the inspectors learned that the snake was a live creature when they noticed it moving.
Officials don't know if the snake might have posed a threat to passengers had it escaped, as in the upcoming movie "Snakes on a Plane." Dutch authorities said it is illegal to ship vipers to the Netherlands without special permits.
