Laredo CBP Officers Discover 39 Live Pythons Hidden Inside Semi Truck Cab at Texas Border Crossing; Truck Seized, Nearly $35,000 in Fines Issued

LAREDO, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized a semi truck after discovering dozens of live pythons hidden inside the vehicle.

The incident occurred on March 5, 2026, during outbound operations at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo. CBP released details of the case on March 17, 2026.

Officers encountered a 2021 Peterbilt tractor traveling from the United States into Mexico. They selected the truck and driver for a secondary inspection.

During the inspection, officers discovered 39 live pythons concealed within the tractor. The discovery came after the driver gave a negative declaration for prohibited goods.

Authorities said the snakes were hidden inside the commercial vehicle, including within containers and compartments. Officers then contacted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took custody of the animals. Officials transported the pythons to a controlled environment due to their condition.

CBP issued $34,824 in penalties for export violations. Officers also seized the tractor and trailer.

The case remains under investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Homeland Security Investigations.

“The interception of live pythons at the World Trade Bridge highlights the vigilance and dedication of our CBP officers in enforcing laws that protect both our borders and our environment,” said Port Director Alberto Flores of the Laredo Port of Entry.

Officials said exporting live reptiles requires strict compliance with U.S. and international regulations. These include rules from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, the U.S. Census Bureau Foreign Trade Regulations, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
