Good question.
It will have to be euthanized at his expense and he would be fined heavily for being in posession of it in the first place. In one case I followed back in the early 90's a person with similar circumstances such as this had the extreme punishment thrown at him by being forbidden to own any animal (the exact duration I am unsure of). That included domestic pets such as cats and dogs. I would have the feeling this situation would warrant that same punishment and maybe more considering he risked the lives of many people along the way.
Adam, ignorance is no excuse for the law. I've said that many times placing handcuffs on a crying kid after the damage was done. We can all forgive your ignorance but it doesnt mean the law will or should overlook this incident. you stand to be corrected and face the punishment. The same way you found this website to defend yourself is the same way you could have posted asking for information regarding specific rules of shipping and laws governing wildlife. Many folks would have been happy to assist you or point you in the right direction.
To add, I find the notion of a DHL carrier aware of and accepting the fact they were carrying deadly snakes to be absurd. One way of finding out is to contact DHL with your name and address and verifying this story by who the driver was that did the pickup at your residence.
Happy Holidays,
Chuck

Here is a question, what is he going to do with the illegal snakes he has now? He's not allowed to have them, sell them, or give them away.
