A Malaysian man has pleaded guilty to wildlife smuggling after his luggage packed with 95 live boa constrictors broke open on a conveyor belt at Kuala Lumpur International airport.

Keng Liang "Anson" Wong, 52, who was previously convicted of wildlife trafficking in the United States, was charged Wednesday with exporting the endangered snakes without a permit, according to a Malaysian wildlife department official, the Associated Press reports.

Wong, who was transiting from Malaysia's Penang state to Indonesia's capital Jakarta Aug. 26, could face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

The burst luggage also contained others snakes and a turtle, but these were not included in the charges since they are not listed as endangered, the AP says.
