Animals have always featured largely in the life of Carole Nichols-Cunningham. As a child, her family kept all sorts of reptiles, a fruit bat, and a monkey.

Her first husband wasn't too keen on the snakes she kept around the house. But husband number two didn't seem to find her taste in pets a problem. This was a bit of luck, because by this point, Carole had up to 75 reptiles all residing at the family home.
