A police spokesman said: “It was like a horror movie. His corpse was over the sofa.

“Giant webs draped him, spiders were all over him. They were coming out of his nose and his mouth.

“There was everything there one could imagine in the world of reptiles.

“Larger pieces of flesh torn off by the lizards were scooped up and taken back to the webs of tarantulas and other bird-eating spiders.”

This is epic, if it's true...

Stories like this come out once in a while. I remember reading another one really similar to this (at first I thought it was that story) last year or so.

Some people really dig their crazy pets.

That's just nasty. And that's why you don't keep things like that for pets.

Is this for real?

I wonder if dramatic chipmunk was there?



I won't be sharing this story with my wife.

Oh... my.... dear.... God. That is like my worst nightmare. I will have nightmares tonight, thanks for nothing.

Wow maybe I should move the heating blocks away from my tanks containing killer spiders and termites

Yeah, I did that today after reading this. I mean, it was tough decision, but I decided I would rather have them a little cold than have the glass break or something.

If I'm going to keep a pet that could potentially kill me, I'd rather have a tiger or a wolf, rather than end up having my corpse slowly devoured by hordes of pests.
