Whoa, watch out Manilla! I know you’re ready for all sorts of crazy antics out there, but nobody was expecting Snakes on a Plane. Oh, well, ok, at this point, I guess they probably are expecting that, but it’s funny nonetheless.
Philippines airport authorities on Tuesday foiled an alleged attempt by a Filipino woman to smuggle more than 100 poisonous snakes and lizards to Thailand.
An airport X-ray technician reported seeing the image of a snake inside one of two large suitcases allegedly belonging to a woman, who came from the central Philippine city of Bacolod on her way to Bangkok, Thailand, said customs officer Tessie Roque.
The two suitcases were later opened, revealing dozens of soft drink and water bottles and sacks containing 50 monitor lizards, 39 cobras, 21 vipers, 20 other smaller lizards and two iguanas.
Give that technician a medal. I wonder how many ounces of liquid are in a snake? I also wonder how those two iguanas survived with all those other, more bite-y, things in the suitcase?
