Uganda Wild Life Authorities have impounded a box containing Poisonous snakes and Chameleons. The reptiles were being transported to the Czech Republic by a clearing and forwarding agent who is on the run. Authorities say it is illegal to transport these reptiles without a license. The animals are now at the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre where they will be analyzed to determine if they can be returned to the wild.
