Video shows snake 'on the loose' at Toronto Pearson

WATCH: Snake slithers around Pearson airport In a video posted to TikTok, a garter snake is seen on the airport floor at Toronto Pearson Airport.

Toronto Pearson International Airport travellers might have just had it with this snake at baggage claim earlier this week.

In a video posted to TikTok, viewed over 870,000 times, what appears to be a garter snake is seen on the airport floor. "A snake on the loose at Pearson baggage claim rn????" TikToker @inarimarki wrote in a caption on screen.

At the start of the clip, a man can be seen walking toward the snake, pausing for a moment, before turning back around – away from the reptile.

Then the video shows a Toronto Pearson airport worker with a plastic bag, and what appears to be a red cloth, to catch the slithering snake.

“Toronto’s saviour king doing the most,” reads another caption that flashes on screen, right before the employee successfully captured it.

A spokesperson for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) confirmed to CTV News Toronto there was a snake at Terminal 1 at the International Baggage Hall on Monday night, at around 9:15 p.m.

“Security captured and removed it quickly,” Jennifer Bell of the GTAA said in an emailed statement.

Before anyone quips that the snake was on a plane prior to its arrival at Toronto Pearson’s baggage claim, Bell said the snake “appeared to come from the outdoors.”
