The animal trafficker had tried to skirt through a"no declaration channel" at a port between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, officials said in a Tuesday statement.Upon inspection of his trousers, officers discovered six sealed bags containing a variety of exotic snakes, including milk snakes, western hognose snakes, corn snakes, Texas rat snakes and bullsnakes.
While none of the serpents were venomous, at least four of the species are considered alien to China, which could constitute a violation of Chinese biosafety law.
