Lizard Smuggler Caught [NEWS]

News from the entrancing world of animal smuggling now. A man passing through Los Angeles International Airport decided to take his scaled friends through customs, strapping 15 lizards to his torso. According to information from the U.S Fish and Wildlife service, the unfortunate (Presumably now retired?) daredevil was returning from Australia when he was caught with 2 geckos, 2 monitor lizards and 11 skinks. Estimates place the price of the animals at over £5000. That’s a lot of lizard skin boots. In an odd way, I admire this man. You’d have to be pretty gutsy to stroll through an airport with that many dragon descendants grabbing your chest. What would happen if somebody saw his jumper pulsating? Would he blame it on a rare heart condition or intense hunger pains?
