Customs officers discovered smuggling attempt at Shenzhen border from Hong Kong into mainland China
Man caught smuggling 104 live snakes into China
Six canvas drawstring bags hidden in man's pockets containing living snakes
Total of 104 non-native snakes seized: milk, corn, western hognose, Texas rat and bullsnakes
In a bizarre smuggling attempt in July 2024, a man was caught trying to sneak over 100 live snakes into mainland China by concealing them in his trousers. Customs officers at the Shenzhen border discovered six canvas drawstring bags hidden in the man's pockets, each containing living snakes. A total of 104 snakes were seized, including milk, corn, western hognose, Texas rat and bullsnakes - all non-native species. The man was attempting to cross the border from Hong Kong into Shenzhen when he was stopped by authorities. China has some of the strictest biosecurity and disease control laws in the world when it comes to importing non-native species without permission, and those who break these rules face legal consequences.
