Snakes in a box

wpvi
By 6abc
HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) - August 24, 2009

Workers called police after seeing two pillowcases moving inside the box.

Officer Justen McDade quickly learned why.

She opened one pillowcase and found a live boa constrictor.

A reptile rescue group is now caring for the FedEx snakes.

No charges have been filed.

But police say they're investigating whether the sender has a license for shipping snakes.
