Packaged pythons cause scare at German post office

BERLIN(AP)
A trio of packaged pythons has caused a scare at a German post
office. Police in Darmstadt say the snakes were stuffed into a
parcel that was handed in for mailing to eastern Germany. It
contained two tiger pythons and an albino tiger python of more than
3 feet in length.
A post office worker noticed one of the reptiles on Thursday
afternoon after it apparently bit through the package. Colleagues
caught the snake and put it in an empty box. Police said Friday
that officers then recovered two more snakes from the damaged
parcel.
Police say they have put the package's sender under
investigation for possible violation of animal protection laws. The
animals have been taken to a reptile house.
