Police in Bung Karn province on the Laotian border said they had arrested a husband and wife who were transporting snakes to Laos.
 
Officers' suspicions were aroused by a van parked with its engine on for a long time. Inside they found 1,362 kilograms worth of protected snake species.
 
There were 209 cobras and 162 baskets of "long tail" rat snakes. There were a total of 1,684 snakes. 
 
The suspects told the cops they had been paid 10,000 baht by a woman called "Aew" in Chainat to drive the cargo north. 
 
Police said the snakes were worth 500,000 baht.
 
The couple who appeared in crash helmets at the police station in Pakkat district to protect their identity were charged with the illegal possession and transportation of protected animal species.

I have couple of two legged snakes at home i'd love for someone to take

them to Laos....

Alright. I'll do it for 10,000.... dollars. I'll doubt I'll get into trouble, as that sort of snakes are not on the protected species list. Far from it.

Just for a few seconds imagine, what if these snakes do have medicinal properties?   Would they be able to keep this quiet if this animal gathering was to fill a drug company order.    Or is it just going to fill some jars in China?  

Where is the recipe book  that would tell us what these reptiles are been bought for.
