According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 12th (local time), Chinese customs recently arrested a woman identified as A who attempted to smuggle five live pet snakes by placing them in stockings and hiding them in her bra.

A customs officer managing the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border noticed A's unusually large and unnatural-looking chest and decided to conduct a search.

As a result, five live pet snakes were found inside A's bra.

Investigations revealed that most of the five snakes originated from the United States. They were popular pet snake breeds known for their beautiful colors and docile nature. In particular, the "corn snake," native to the southeastern United States, is highly popular among Chinese animal enthusiasts due to its beautiful orange hue.

Chinese netizens, upon seeing this, praised the woman's boldness for hiding live snakes in her chest while also admiring the sharp eye of the customs officers who detected it, the media reported.

Meanwhile, like other countries, Chinese customs conducts quarantine inspections on animals imported from overseas to prevent ecological damage and foreign infectious diseases before deciding whether to allow them through customs.
