June 29 (UPI) -- Riders on a New York subway train were joined by a scaly passenger when a snake hitched a ride on the train.

Twitter profile Subway Creatures on June 16 shared video of the slithering snake wrapped around a pole on the subway, while stretching its head forward and bobbing it up and down.

"Snakes on a train, yo, snakes on a train," one passenger said in the video.

Juan Guerrero, who captured the video told NBC New York the snake appeared to belong to a man holding the hand rail near where the snake had made its perch.

Guerrero added the man was kissing the snake before he let it hang from the pole.

Other passengers appeared unfazed by the snake's presence, as they casually rode to their destination.
