Snake found in cargo hold causes flight delay in Australia

Virgin Australia Airlines' passengers traveling from Melbourne to Brisbane experienced an unusual incident as they were boarding the plane. Authorities discovered a snake approximately 60 centimeters long in the cargo hold of the aircraft, which led to the involvement of snake expert Mark Pelley. After capturing the snake and determining that it was not venomous, Pelley stated, 'It appeared very dangerous until I caught it.' Airport officials confirmed that the flight was delayed by approximately 2 hours due to the snake.
