That is the moment staff got a slippery surprise at a ferry port after they went in to analyze what was hidden inside a lady’s bra.
They noticed a lady attempting to rush through Futian Port on the border between mainland China and Hong Kong appearing all flustered.
While she told the officials that she had nothing to declare they sensed something wasn’t quite right.
It turned out that their instincts were correct because as soon as they looked inside the lady’s bra something was found… 4 endangered ball pythons.
Video footage shows them placed in socks inside the lady’s bra while staff release them onto a table.
While the slithering reptiles are fairly small, they seem pretty ferocious as they stare into the camera.
After the shock discovery, the officials pulled the lady aside for some questioning.
She revealed to them that she was transporting them onto the mainland for a small carrying fee.
Staff had no selection but to take the hissing reptiles away from the lady and an investigation is now being carried out.
Ball pythons are categorised as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
Also they are a protected species in China where it is illegitimate to maintain them as a pet.
Surprisingly, this isn’t the primary time a lady decided to stuff an animal down her bra.
It happened at Miami International Airport last week where a lady was stopped because she had two turtles down there.
Tragically, one among the turtles died within the bra.
The Transportation Security Administration joked about all of it and said in a press release: ‘We wish you to have the option to travel along with your pets, and also you turtle-ly can, but please travel with them safely.’
