We're so pumped for the Aug. 18 arrival of Snakes on a Plane* that we went slithering through the racks and — 'scuse the pun — just about had a hissy fit when we unearthed this trove of reptilian goodies.

(* SO, WAIT... COULD A PASSENGER ACTUALLY BRING A SNAKE ON BOARD? We asked American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner, who says that only licensed exotic-animal dealers get the okay. Even then, they're ''contained in special crates in cargo. They couldn't get near the cabin.'' Oh, we feel much ssssssssssafer now).
