A widow has overcome her lifelong phobia of snakes - by adopting a nine foot long Burmese python.
Rosie Kin, 63, was terrified of snakes until her daughter Rachel Kin, 33, moved in with her last year to keep her company after her husband died.
Rachel had recently rehomed a six foot long ball python for a friend, who also moved in with her, despite Rosie's protests.
But after spending some time with the python, Rosie gradually began to overcome her fear.
So much so, that last month, she adopted Amun-Ra, a nine foot Burmese python, who she rehomed from a reptile centre that was shutting down.
