OAKLAND, Calif. -- It was a slithery surprise at Oakland International Airport when a 5-foot-long boa constrictor was discovered in a rental car.
The Alameda County Sheriff's Department posted a picture on Facebook asking the rightful owner to please come claim the snake.

Officials say they have no idea how it got there, although they're pretty sure it's not an emotional support animal.
