CUSTOMS officials in Norway say they had arrested a man who tried to illegally import 14 snakes and 10 lizards into the country by taping the reptiles to his body.
The snakes, king pythons that are large in size but not venomous, were rolled up in socks and taped to the man's torso, while the geckos were found in small boxes taped to his legs.
The unusual load was discovered during a body search after customs officials found a tarantula in the man's luggage.

"He told us he was crazy about reptiles," the head of the local customs office, Helge Breilid, said. Well, he's certainly crazy.

They don’t let snakes into Norway? Then how is our president going to pick up his Nobel?
