Snakes on a Ferry: Norwegian Man Found with Tarantula, 14 Pythons, and 10 Lizards Taped to His Body

Norwegian police had a bit of a surprise when they noticed something moving on the body of a 22-year-old man getting off a ferry. They found a tarantula in a bag during a routine stop and then in a strip search discovered 14 royal pythons and 10 albino leopard geckos taped to his body. This was without the use of baggy pants, here.

The man had taped the snakes in 14 socks to his body. They then found 10 cans taped to his legs, each containing a lizard.

According to Helge Breilid at Kristiansand customs the tip off was not hard to spot: “Customs officers quickly realized the man was smuggling animals, because his whole body was in constant motion.”

The walking reptile house was arrested for illegal smuggling.
