A man admitted to smuggling three Burmese pythons in his pants through a U.S.-Canadian border.
Seriously, you can't make that kind of thing up.
Calvin Bautista was sentenced to a year probation and fined $5,000, for crossing into New York with hidden snakes on a bus from Montreal to New York City. The snakes were hidden in the inner thigh of his pants in snake bags tied to the pants, but were discovered by U.S. Customs.
Bautista purchased the snakes, that were worth more than $2,500, at a reptile store in Canada, but importation of Burmese pythons is regulated by an international treaty listing them as “injurious to human beings.”
The Burmese python, is considered a vulnerable species in Asia and is invasive in Florida, as it's threatening native animals.
