Airport security officers in Miami found a scaly surprise last week - a bag of snakes hidden in a passenger’s trousers.

According to an X post by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), officers at Miami International Airport found the small bag of snakes hidden in a passenger’s clothes at a checkpoint on April 26. The post included a photo of two small snakes that were found in what appeared to be a sunglasses bag. TSA officials said the reptiles were turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
