smuggling 14 ball pythons on your torso

FamilyJewels Oct 27, 2009 10:09 PM

A man has been arrested in Norway after trying to smuggle 24 reptiles into the country by taping them to his body.

Fourteen royal pythons rolled up in socks were found taped to the man's torso and 10 geckos held in small boxes were taped to his legs.

14 normal ball pythons 10 albino leopard geckos tarantula = $10,000 in Norway!!!

Norway have a really strict rules in regard to importation. Probably one of the worst in the world. Ball python and leopard geckos are banned there.

It's probably more related to the pet activist who are against owning any animals in cage etc... more than the risk of them going in the wild.

I like how Ball Pythons suddenly became the smallest of pythons.

Perhaps they meant the smallest of the genus Python.
Not taking into consideration Antaresia.
