A passenger on a bus from Santiago del Estero to Buenos Aires was caught with more than 400 snakes and other critters in his luggage.
An official reported that "A passenger came on board with 40 snakes, plus what he had in the boxes" in the bus luggage hold.
The confiscated haul totaled: 444 boas, vipers and other snakes; 186 endangered tortoises; 40 lizards, and an armadillo.
The smuggler said he had spent three months trapping the species so he could sell them.
