Working on a tip-off, the inspectors seized the package from the Czech Republic and opened the cases to find live albino monocle cobras, Arabian saw-scaled vipers, Namibian spitting cobras and Australian Taipans, reputed to be the most poisonous snake on earth.
"All the snakes confiscated are venomous with no anti-venom available in South Africa," the Gauteng provincial environment department said in a statement.

Okay, if no one is going to say it, then I'm going to say it.

Humm. Mail unsolicited poisonous snakes to someone, and profit? How exactly do you get paid instead of getting jailed for doing that?

As terrified of even a dead snake as I am -- I wouldn't faint -- I'd die of a sheer heart attack!

i'm wondering how the poor snakes managed inside of "videocassette cases". Did they have air holes or enough room to move?
i shake my head in despair over collectors who can't keep their hands off wild animals, which belong...gee...IN THE WILD!!!

And here we see yet another argument in favor of using E-MAIL instead of snail mail. You can't send a deadly snake via e-mail. A virus, maybe, but it won't REALLY hurt anyone.

I had a friend that collected non poisonous snakes. He couldn't understand why we wouldn't come over with our then 2 year old daughter when he announced one got out.
Like I said I ONCE HAD a friend. Snakes aren't meant to be pets.

My friends mom ordered some kind of cactus from overseas. When she got it she put it in her house and went out somewhere. When she came home later she found the house covered with tarantulas. She had to stay at a friends house for a week until she had it sprayed. What had happened was that the cactus had spider eggs all in it and they broke out everywhere in the house. She was freaked out, lol. Be careful guys!

along the same line we put oak logs in our fire place when I was a teen. In a few weeks large conical piles of sawdust appeared under the logs. We later found some of the most disgusting beetles walking around the house.
