Who in their right mind would do this?

According to the story:

Police broke in to Mark Voegel's apartment to find spider Bettina along with 200 others, several snakes, a gecko lizard called Helmut . . .

Evidently, his pet Black Widow spider ( I assume he named Bettina ) caused his death by biting him. Then, all his other "pets" decided to feast on his body. Ugh! Apparently the guy was some kind of nut who thought that keeping poisonous spiders, snakes, and a variety of reptiles and amphibians including poisonous frogs, was cool. My son wanted to keep a snake at one time. I don't think I could do that. I did have a pet lizard when I was a kid. My grandfather caught it when we lived in Arizona. It lived for quite a while until one morning I found the lizard sticking out of the mouth of a frog that he shared a terrarium with. I don't know who was trying to eat who.
