Working in customs comes with the risk of unearthing pretty awful things.
For example,I Would Rather Kill You Australia's Border Force found a host of spiders and snakes in a box marked as "2 pair shoes," mailed from Northern Europe -- because Australia doesn't have enough spiders and snakes already.

Inside the box there were six venomous Wagler's temple vipers, which are native to southeast Asia; three ball pythons, two hognose snakes, nine various tarantulas and three scorpions. Creepy.

The remaining live snakes and spiders will have to be euthanised, a spokesperson from the Australian Border Force confirmed.
"This detection appears to be a clear attempt to get around the rules that are in place to protect us all," Lyn O'Connell from the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources, said in a statement.
"Anyone who claims to be an animal lover and conceals reptiles or arachnids in small packages and sends them through the mail does not have the best interests of the animals -- or Australia -- at heart."
