Snakes on a Bus: Argentinian Man Caught With 600 Snakes and Reptiles

I always seem to sit next to this guy on the plane or bus. Police in Argentina arrested a man with 600 snakes and other reptiles, including some endangered species.

He had 40 snakes on him and then they opened his luggage. Ranger Daniel Chersich, warden of Santa Fe province, simply observed that police “were terrified of opening the bags.” They found “444 boas, vipers and other snakes; 186 endangered tortoises; 40 lizards, and an armadillo.”

The smuggler had spent three months trapping the creatures. Given the cruel way that he was transporting them, one can only imagine how they are kept during the whole ordeal.

  1. Last spring there was an arrest in Milwaukee of someone who claimed to be a reptile expert. He lived in an apartment. The report said

    mice and rats number in the hundreds formed a carpet on the basement floor … The two largest reptiles were probably approaching 100 pounds and 6 feet in length … crews removed anaconda snakes, crocodiles, spiders, turtles and more.
