Man-Smuggling-Reptiles

Just when you thought you’d heard the wackiest story of someone attempting to smuggle something through customs, along comes a Norwegian man who attempted to bring 24 reptiles into Norway from Denmark; all strapped to his body!! Customs officials searched the man after finding a tarantula in his bag and were shocked to find 10 albino leopard geckos and 14 baby royal pythons taped to his chest and legs. The man claimed he loved reptiles and was bringing them home to be pets. Obviously, the animals were confiscated and the man arrested.
