The reptiles were discovered on Thursday when police searched the home of a German man suspected of fraud in the village of Lapscheure, the Nature Rescue Centre in Opglabbeek said.

The animals showed signs of neglect, said biologist Frederik Thoelen.

The owner, who did not have the necessary papers approving him as a keeper of the reptiles, has given up his rights to them.

"That is very good news because now we can look for a new place for the animals," Mr Thoelen said.

But the creatures will definitely spend Christmas at the rescue centre.

They will not be getting any special treats for the holidays as "they got their biggest present yesterday" when they were rescued, said Mr Thoelen.
