A reptile forced a delay on the MBTA Green Line.
The D-line train was temporarily stopped yesterday after riders reported that a man aboard had a snake around his neck.
The man had already left when police arrived at the Brookline Village T station.
The MBTA tells the Boston Globe that service was stopped for about 9 minutes.
The T does have a policy allowing small pets to ride in secure carriers, but it says nothing particular about allowing snakes.
