In 2018, 252 reptiles were found in the man's apartment, 123 of which were venomous.
The venomous animals were transferred to a specialised rescue centre in Munich, while the rest found a new home in the animal shelter in Dudelange. The owner faced animal cruelty charges.
Luxembourg City's court sentenced the accused to a €4,000 fine and banned him from keeping animals for 3 years. They also forced him to close his shop until he obtains the required authorisation.
