A man in Malaysia has been arrested after 95 boa constrictors burst out of his luggage.

Insert Samuel L. Jackson joke here. A Malaysian man has pleaded guilty to wildlife smuggling after 95 endangered boa constrictors and one turtle burst out of his suitcase on an airport conveyor belt in Kuala Lumpur. All of the animals are alive and well and are being supervised by wildlife officials. The charges carry a maximum jail time of seven years. The man, identified as Keng Liang Wong, was arrested once before in 1998 for smuggling reptiles from Asia and Africa to North America, and was sentenced to six years in a U.S. prison.
