A sneaky snake upstaged A-Rod at Mets Spring Training

It has been an eventful day at Mets Spring Training in Port St. Lucie, as a surprise guest arrived this morning:

A-Rod's presence at camp certainly drew some attention, but not as much as when another unexpected guest showed up on one of the backfields:

Ah, snake! It's a snake! Thankfully, a brave grounds crew member seems to have taken care of the creature before it scared too many of the Mets players away, but outfielder Michael Conforto was not taking any chances. 

No shame in being a bit unnerved by an unexpected reptile. We can think of one Mets player that would have no such fear, however:

We can't all be Thor, though. Snakes are scary.
