Customs in Australia have seized a package of live snakes and spiders
Customs authorities have seized a parcel full of live venomous exotic snakes and spiders that smugglers attempted to get through by international mail.
The parcel included six venomous vipers, native to South East Asia, nine large tarantulas from Mexico, Brazil and Colombia, plus Asian forest scorpions.
The Deputy Secretary for biosecurity Lyn O'Connell said it posed a risk of carrying pests and diseases that could affect human, animals and plants as well as agricultural industries.
The case is being investigated
