Del Maso was trying to leave Florida through Orlando International Airport, on his way home to Brazil.
A TSA agent who was suspicious of the speakers the man checked in, searched them and made a slithering discovery.
Inside the speakers were twenty-seven snakes that had been wrapped in pantyhose, before being stuffed into the speakers.
The snakes had a value of about ten thousand dollars, and Del Maso planned to begin a breeding operation once he got home.
Luckily for the people he was to share the plane with, they never made it aboard.
After pleading guilty, Del Maso served two days in prison, was served a six thousand dollar fine, will have to undergo a year of supervised release, and be required to announce himself to a probation officer if he ever returns to the US.
