A California man was arrested after a package addressed to him was found with three live king cobras hidden inside potato chip cans, US officials said.
Rodrigo Franco, 34, was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with illegally importing merchandise.
Customs officials discovered the snakes, about two-feet long, while inspecting a package that was mailed to Mr Fanco from Hong Kong in March.
The shipment also contained three albino Chinese soft-shelled turtles.
