Reptiles Smuggled in Pillowcases | San Diego News

Border agents bust a bizarre reptile smuggling ring—60 lizards, venomous snakes, a baby croc, and an indigo snake stuffed in pillowcases. The San Diego Zoo is now rehabilitating the traumatized animals, many of whom are pregnant or giving birth, revealing eight newborns. This isn’t an isolated incident—it’s part of a years-long illegal trafficking operation still under investigation by U.S. Fish and Wildlife and other agencies. While some reptiles have been relocated, most remain safely cared for in San Diego. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
