Everyone's on the daily grind, including one very busy, commuting snake.

Twitter user Anne Keane posted a short video of a man casually holding his pet snake on the Boston Red Line. The snake is enjoying its ride, taking in the sights and sounds and probably smells of the people around him.

Keane took this opportunity to ask the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority on Twitter what exactly their policy is on slithering creatures riding their trains.

The MBTA asked Keane to provide some details of her ride with the traveling reptile.

Turns out that snakes technicallyare allowed on trains, much to our delight and excitement.

Great. Not only to we have to worry about people sitting a little too close for comfort next to us, and body odor, and people pushing us in the train, but now we have to worry about sitting next to snakes in boxes. Great.

Keane told WHDHthat although some passengers seemed interested in the pet, she wasn't at all pleased.

"It was gross," she said. "This was probably the weirdest thing I've seen on the train. I don't want to see snakes on a train. I don't want to see snakes on a plane."

I guess she's never been on an NYC subway.

We don't want to see snakes on a train either, but hey, they have places to go, too.
