VIRGINIA (CBS) - Custom and Border Protection officers have seen a lot of crazy things at airports, but this may be a new one, after stopping a family with four baby turtles.

The baby red-eared turtles even had painted shells.

A family from the U.S. was returning from a trip to China earlier this month, when they were stopped at an airport in Virginia.
