Customs officers have found
85 geckos, two snakes, and two scorpions worth 51,400 United State dollars in a passenger’s luggage.
Elaborately, the reptiles, which were about 90, were seized at Vienna Airport from a 50-year-old man who had flown from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Vienna.
The reptiles were considered to be going through health challenges and were submitted to Schönbrunn Zoo, NAN gathered.
The passenger, whose name was withheld, said he gathered the geckos not for himself but to feed his snakes.
