Drugs? Oh wait no its just snakes.

So I have a fun story!
I was expecting a shipment of 3 snakes this morning to my door around 10:30am. So I was just sitting around waiting for the fedex guy to get here when I get a phone call.
"Hi this is fedex and you have a package here at the office but it came in damaged, it has a hole in the box."
AAAARRRGG :cens0r: im thinking...I hoping nothing hurt the snakes right?
"I see it says the contents is a reptile? so it cant crawl out right?" she says
I explained to her that no they are snakes and they are secured in pillow cases so they cant go anywhere.
"So we dont want to put it on the truck and deliver it to your house in risk of further damaging the box, can you come to the office to pick it up?"
So I get down to fedex and im the only customer in there and theres one sales lady. So I walk up to her and say ya im picking up the snakes.
So she says ok and walks into the back room and gives a head nod to someone, which i thought was weird.
And out of the back room come a couple uniformed police men and two other guys not in uniform. One of the men sets my box down and reaches his hand out to shake mine.
Im like in my head going "deerrrrr? wtf?"
"Im so and so dectective from the county police dept. and the damage to the box is our fault. When your package arrived at the airport it didnt pass the drug dog inspection. The dogs respond to drugs and sometimes live animals. So if you dont mind opening the box for us just to confirm the contents"
So i opened the box for them and took out each pillow case, I offered to take them out of the pillow cases but the detective chickened out. He touched one of the snakes through the pillowcase and that was enough for him. So I thought that was funny that they didnt even want to look at them.
They were all ready to bust me for drugs or something but to their dissapointment I really had snakes in the box lol.
So that was my exciting morning story. Ive never heard of this happening before with drug dogs, anyone else heard of this happening?


The hole the drug dog made in the box :P

I know I thought it was wierd that a dog would respond to that too but i guess it is a dog, i know how excited they can get about critters lol

I got a 0.1 Mojave, 0.1 Spider, and 1.0 Pastel
they are all around 400g '10 babies. Im very happy with them. I snapped some cell pictures of them. Very handsome snakes, the spider is aweful shy :)

Nice. I've never herd of the dogs acting like that. Maybe it was a new dog? Odd day for sure!

They are gorgeous! Congrats :)

everytime i get all mine out during cleaning i let my 4 dogs come in 1 at a time and all they do is sniff and turn around and walk away. but when i get the rats out to change them they watch them like a hawk its funny everytime one moves they eyeball it until it quits moving.but the snakes they can care less what they are doing

Gorgeous snakes... You made me laugh. I love the fact that the detective "chickened out" Lol I would have loved to see his face if you had just pulled out the pillow cases and continued right then to pull out the snakes.:P

That's hilarious!! At least the snakes arrived okay.
