A customs stop in Thailand on Tuesday turned up 600 smuggled cobras secreted in the back of a pickup truck. A security official made the potentially deadly find.
The BBC reports the would-be smuggler confessed the reptiles were likely from Malaysia and were headed to neighboring Laos.
The area is a transit hub for black market animal trading. The snakes -- which had a street value of more than 15 thousand U.S. dollars -- were likely to be killed and used in traditional Asian medicine.
