Iguana Smuggling Like You've Never Seen!

I really like reptiles and have owned many. However; I would never smuggle a reptile (or any other thing for that matter).

Well apparently there are some who would smuggle reptiles. How 'bout Fiji Island Banded Iguanas? Yep, and the best part is how he did it. He put them in his leg. His hollow prosthetic leg! Actually he had built a special hidden compartment in the apparatus. The business must be profitable because apparently he recently sold 3 for $32,000! When the police searched his house they found 4 more of the little critters. The money would be nice, but of course the maximum 5 years in jail wouldn't be fun. Can you imagine being a 1 legged lizard smuggler in prison? "Whatta you in here for"? "Smuggling lizards in my leg". "Yea right".
