Sounds like a corny movie but Ive seen worms longer than 20cm:

From AAP/The Australian:

A TINY snake found on a Qantas plane delayed the entire flight, stranding hundreds of passengers in Sydney overnight.

A flight scheduled to depart Sydney International Airport for Tokyo last night was cancelled after staff found a 20-centimetre snake near the aircraft doorway.
A Qantas spokeswoman said 370 passengers were booked on the flight.
They were put up in accommodation in Sydney overnight.
A replacement flight was scheduled to leave Sydney at 10.15am (AEST) today.
The spokeswoman said it was yet to be determined what type of snake it was and where it had come from.
“The snake has gone into quarantine to determine where it's come from,” she said.
The spokeswoman said the plane had been fumigated in case the snake was venomous.
