In a surprising incident that has gone viral on social media, a young woman was caught attempting to smuggle snakes through an airport. The incident took place at Futian Airport in Guangdong Province, southern China. Authorities became suspicious when they noticed the woman's abnormal body shape during a routine examination. Upon further inspection, they discovered that she had hidden five non-venomous corn snakes in her bra. The woman's identity has not been released. A case has been registered against her.

This incident bears resemblance to another recent case at Chennai airport where smugglers were found to be carrying not only a snake but also a monkey and a turtle in a bag. The animals were discovered in the baggage area. In the Chennai airport incident, authorities found a total of 45 ball pythons, three Marmoset monkeys, three Star tortoises, and four cone snakes.
