TEENAGER OWNS MORE THAN 300 EXOTIC PETS

Liam Andrews is a teenager that loves animals so much


he has over 300 exotic pets! Liam and his parents spend a lot
of money in the young animal lover’s hobby, and Liam seems like a very happy kid. Liam, who
studies animal management and welfare, has animals that include eight snakes, five scorpions
and twelve tarantulas.

Liam Andrews lives in Desborough, Northamptonshire and he started* collecting animals


at 6 years old when he asked* his parents if he could* buy a hamster with his pocket money.

Andrews says he “prefers animals to humans. They are friendly and quiet. (…) I have
around 60 reptiles and other exotics that sleep in my bedroom with me.”

However, his collection of pets, which cost £8.500 to look after, doesn’t impress his
mother, because she fears “what she might find next in his room. (…) Liam is totally obsessed
with all his animals… I hate spiders and will never hold one.”

Other creatures in the collection include 30 giant African land snails, 100 tropical fish
and one tomato frog. Andrews thinks that it’s amusing to have so many exotic animals around
him. He says his favourite animal is his 6ft-long python called Monty, who likes to watch TV and
go shopping with him.
