Why isit so easy to smuggle reptiles?

[Joe1507]

Ok so Theres always a post on here about someone going abroad and bringing back a reptile by accident usually jammed in the suitcase.

so Im thinking if the airport security dont pick up on it / dont care the nwhy not get a few lizards abroad put them inbetween ur clothes and bring them home? could easily be done if your caught say it mustve crawled in there....

Lol yes I know its cruel and unfair on the lizard im just saying it could be eay to smuggle reptiles.

Sure, if you're willing to risk the lizards being crushed in the cargo hold (or half-frozen) and unpacking them to find oh look, you've got a stylish and stinking stenodactylus bookmark....

It isn't worth the risk *to the animal*.

If they found it in your luggage when you got back to these lovely shores, there's a reasonable chance it'd just wind up being put down, too.

It could be done easily, put alot of padding around the suitcase, get it custom made Lol.

Im off to the carribean next week, im taking orders for reptiles, you get 75% off the retail price, what ya want?

nah I wouldnt want to risk the health of the reptile and im not really of to the carribean.

Watch the heat pack cook AND suffocate whatever you put in it...

No, it isn't "easy" to smuggle reptiles. People whose luggage is invaded, that's one thing - but if there's any hint that it might have been intentional, you're looking at fines and/or jail time.
