MPI officials have yet to identify the species of snake, but it's believed to be a brown tree snake.
They're not a species considered dangerous to humans, but as the MPI pointed out, any foreign wildlife could be a threat to New Zealand's environment and native creatures -- as it found out the hard way with the Australian possum, which is a major pest.
The private jet had been parked in a remote bay for six weeks before making its way across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand.
No other snakes were found by authorities in the area or on the plane, but unfortunately for this travel-weary snake, it will likely be euthanised.
"We don't have a snake population in New Zealand. Biosecurity officials are doing their best to make sure it stays that way," Hughes said.
