SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A scan of a package at Changi Airfreight Centre on Aug 3 foiled an attempt to smuggle a leopard gecko.
Anomalies detected in scanned images of the package led to the discovery, said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority in a Facebook post on Tuesday .
The leopard gecko, which comes in an array of colours and patterns, is native to dry and semi-desert areas in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, north-west India and Nepal. However, ICA reminded the Singapore public that they should not bring in wildlife illegally, purchase wildlife or keep them as pets. The poor conditions and manner under which animals are smuggled in could cause them unnecessary suffering and even lead to death, it added.
