Pet owner killed by spiders, eaten by reptiles

Pet owner killed by spiders, eaten by reptiles

"A man who lived in his own 'zoo' of lizards and insects was fatally bitten by a pet black widow spider - then eaten by the other creepy-crawlies. Police broke in to Mark Voegel's apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut and several thousand termites had gorged on his body... 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.' ... Spider expert and animal cruelty officer Gabi Bayer said he kept creatures 'that should never be allowed in a private home.' She said: 'He had spiders so aggressive they are the equivalent of a pit-bull in the animal world.'"
