Meet the fearless reptile-loving couple who share their home with hundreds of exotic creatures - including venomous snakes and an aggressive 5ft long Nile Monitor lizard


Herpetologist Siouxsie Gillett and snake obsessed partner Simon Paul Keys keep over 80 slithery creatures in a double locked room - including snakes which have enough venom to kill an elephant.
