State agricultural workers found a cache of illegal animals anonymously delivered to its Hilo office on Thursday.

The workers found a box with several animals inside. The box contained a 22-inch albino corn snake, a bearded dragon lizard, a 19-inch iguana and two emperor scorpions.

All of these animals are illegal to transport and possess in Hawaii.

Anyone caught with illegal animals can face up to $200,000 in fines and three years in prison.
