A 20-year-old man travelling from Florida to Hawaii experienced a terrifying moment when a small snake slithered out of his backpack after arriving his destination. The incident occurred when the man reached a Maui vacation rental in Pukalani from Virginia and put down his backpack on the floor.

However, the snake was captured immediately, the owner of the rental informed the visitor that snakes are illegal in Hawaii. Soon Maui police were informed about the incident and the officials contacted a doctor. Thereafter, the snake was detained the same night and it was delivered to the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA).
