This is not for you if you suffer from ophidiophobia or a fear of snakes.
Four pythons in a Qantas Boeing 737-800 plane's cargo hold, who escaped from a container during a flight, caused the plane to be grounded after airline staff failed to find them.
The snakes, measuring about 15 cm, were said by airline authorities to be in a consignment of 12 in a container on the aircraft on Tuesday during a two-and-a-half-hour flight from Alice Springs to Melbourne.
With airline staff failing to find the reptiles among the luggage in the hold, the aircraft was grounded and an onward flight cancelled.
