Customs officials at a Shanghai airport noticed the unnamed man was carrying something suspicious as his luggage was passed through a scanner. Opening up his bags, they found 121 snakes wrapped in black stockings and stuffed inside 21 plastic boxes. The animals were later indentified as endangered ball pythons. The man may face up to life imprisonment for trafficking rare animals.
