Reptiles die in exotic pet shop flood in Telford.
Eddie Scott opened the shop in Telford to trade exotic pets like lizards and snakes.
Five reptiles died when a new exotic pet shop flooded, forcing its young owner to put trading on hold.
Eddie Scott, 18, said just three days after moving into the premises in Telford, Shropshire, a leaking pipe in a flat upstairs caused water to pour in through the ceiling.
Four geckos and a bearded dragon were unable to get out of their containers and drowned.

Mr Scott said it could be several weeks before Edzotics can reopen.
He said when he arrived at the building in Oakengates on 4 November "it was in darkness and there was water everywhere".
"There was six inches on the floor and it was gushing out the ceiling.
The carpet just started getting wetter and wetter."
Some of the animals had been able to climb to safety, but others, including snakes, were unable to get out of their containers, which were filled with several inches of water from the leak above.
