Netizens said that it is really hard for the customs officers, who have to face all kinds of strange items every day. So what happened?

According to official news released by the customs, Huanggang Customs officers recently discovered a nervous passenger at the entry channel of Futian Port. They immediately intercepted and inspected the passenger and found winter long cotton in his luggage. There are 6 live snakes wrapped in socks, weighing 1.4kg.

After identification, Huanggang Customs, a subsidiary of Shenzhen Customs, previously seized six live snakes illegally carried by passengers at the Futian Port entry channel as ball pythons. They are listed in the "Endangered Wild Animals" Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Plant Species, which is a second-level protected animal in our country. At present, these ball pythons have been handed over to relevant departments.

From the pictures taken at the scene, these six pythons have different shapes and colors. No, if you are sensitive to cold-blooded animals, you still have to overcome a lot of fear when taking them out of your socks.

Ball pythons live in Africa and are the smallest species of pythons in the continent. Because of its gentle temperament and timidity, it has become a pet of many people. When it is threatened, it often shrinks its body into a ball and hides its head in the center, hence its name. The ball python has a long lifespan, about 10 years. 20 to 40 years old, the longest-lived ball python currently recorded lived 48 years.
