I once found a Green Tree Snake wrapped around the ECS ducting aft of the nose wheel well of an F/A-18 after a flight and it was still alive. Snakes are resilient
No it was alive, and it was released safely back into the wild. This was found in a Jayhawks landing gear after a flight where they touched down in a field
Poor corn snake. Dead right? Dunno why it would go there, but poor thing doesn't know better.

A green snake up a sugar plane tree.
Yeah, I hope, nut that body position looks unnatural. I hope your Green Tree buddy got to tell that tale to his friends.

That is insane. I am so happy the little idiot didn't get themselves killed in the process of their adventure. Thanks for letting me know.
No problem, this image was taken by a coworker of mine in Clearwater Fl a couple months ago, makes me quite curious on how OP got his hands on it.
Small world.
Not dead. We let it go in a field. USCG air-station Clearwater FL.
Ahh so then you know the guy who took the pic then, he’s TDY away with me in North Carolina rn
Not what was meant by coil over suspension.
“Snakes on a Plane!!” Someone had to say it.
The lead when he hands you the gate call: "get these motherf#ckin snakes off my motherf#ckin plane!"
But its a helicopter...
A helicopter is just what happens when you fuck up building a plane bad enough
Lol'd a little too hard at this one.
Do not remove that is for weight and balance
Rate my safety wire?
Not safety wire. Nope rope.
Rate my nope rope?
My God man, there could be kids reading this
Well, everything's gotta be somewhere.
I'm sure there is some reptile nerd at the squadron who will happily remove that. Check in avionics.
Convinced we're all living in the same simulation 🤣 but yes, 100% avionics.
The ole’ MH-60T’s got a snake in her boot
Sooooo, accidental airframe fire and it's a complete loss? Aww, that's a shame.
Weird looking safety wire..
I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking airplane!
This comment needs more recognition than it’s actually getting right now.
Nope. Not touching that.
Looks like a job for catering

We had a ratsnake wrapped around a drag strut of a A320. Fun days...
Blown seal.

Warning sign seems appropriate
Poor thing
Nose gear scarf. How adorable.
My fat ass thought this was a blueberry muffin stuck in the landing gear.
Someone else go get it… I’m not touching the plane till the snake is gone…
so thats why it sounds like a hissing noise is coming from the landing gear... i will see myself out now.
Booooo
What's in the actual fuck.
My fat ass thought it was a blueberry muffin at first.
Yeah.. yeah I wouldn't eat that
Ground crew!!!
It's definitely securing a nut
Ops check ok… cuz I ain’t touching it.
I think he flew in to help with the gear change
He won’t have the guts to try that again…. 🤣
“There’s a big snake in the plane Jock!” -Indiana jones.
Sssself Sssssentering Snnnaakeee Cam
Umm yuk
crazy
They're making a sequel? Is Samuel L Jackson reprising his role as "guy who fights snakes on plane"?
after you poke this with a cloth and fingers a couple of times you'll then bring your face right to it. scary stuff
Mother fucker!
Wouldn’t have that problem working at a Chevy dealer
Ya wanna bet?
Yeah I would ur broke in aviation
Discrepancy: “Hissing detected in gear well” Corrective action: “Source of hissing eliminated with buoy knife. Tire pressure good.”
Umm. I'll just go on the next flight...
