    *Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pj95
    Sharing their home with almost 150 pets, the Mintram family redefine the meaning of animal mad! Former lab technician Jamie and his wife Michelle, 32, live with their children Chloe, six, and Josh, eight, in a typical detached house in Weeting, Norfolk. What's not so typical is the fact they also share their home with a veritable menagerie of creatures. This includes a collection of 30 snakes - including a boa constrictor called Big Mamma - a crocodile, a monitor lizard and a host of creepy crawlies that live in the garage. And the other rooms of the house don't escape either with every one, besides the living room, showing traces of the Mintram's animal inhabitants. Indeed, the second reception room, the dining room, the fourth bedroom and much of the kitchen are given over to the non-human members of the family.

    Underwater Electric Light Show
    These underwater corals look stunning as they emit a fluorescent glow of green, orange and purple.

    The colours radiate from the coral in the same way a UV light bounces off bright clothing in a nightclub.

    British photographer Alex Mustard, 36, snapped the glowing corals, worms, anemone and crabs while diving in the Red Sea and the Caribbean.

    He took the pictures at night and used a standard camera fitted with a blue flash, which triggers the fluorescent reaction.

    The exact reason why the corals fluoresce is a mystery but it is thought the fluorescent pigment acts like a sun screen.

    Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "The Red Sea and the Caribbean both have healthy and rich coral reefs.

    "For these types of images you want to photograph where there are lots of species of corals as some glow with fluorescence and some do not.

    "What is amazing is that you don't know what you will get until you see the pictures.

    "Some corals glow strongly, while others do not.

    "It is only when you take the picture and the blue flashes go off that you know if the coral is a performer.

    "The pictures are taken with a normal camera and the colours are those that the camera recorded. They are not adjusted on a computer.

    "I fitted filters to my flashes so they produce only deep blue light.

    "This excites the fluorescence response in the corals, which then give out the greens, oranges and yellows you see in the images.

    "The effect is the same as when bright colours in your clothes show up under the UV light in a disco or nightclub."

    He added: "Corals are important creatures, which build the reefs that support whole ecosystems.

    "They are under threat from rising sea temperatures and increasingly acidic seas.

    Such Curious Things To Sea
    An intrepid British photographer has travelled the world snapping pictures of the bizarre things lying on the sea bed.

    Diving enthusiast Alex Mustard, 36, has made many strange discoveries while exploring 40 feet beneath the water's surface.

    His pictures, taken while investigating the insides of eerie shipwrecks, include barnacle-covered motorbikes once meant for British troops fighting during World War Two.

    Rusty British trucks also lie forgotten in their watery graves along with rifles that have never been used.

    And one extraordinary photo even shows the shell of the iconic VW Beetle car, now abandoned in the gloom of the murky water.

    Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "Wrecks attract divers because of the incongruity of seeing something from above the waves beneath them.

    "The VW Beetle was purposely sunk for divers and it's particularly bizarre - it's the last thing you would expect to sea underwater.

    "I find it fascinating seeing something familiar in an alien place - underwater.

    "I couldn't say how many wrecks I've seen but each is interesting in their own way. Each is unique, the features different on every wreck and the atmosphere varies too."

    One particularly fascinating wreck for Alex is the HMS Thislegorm - a British cargo ship that was carrying military supplies when it was sunk by a German bomber in the Red Sea in 1941.

    Alex said: "This wreck is still packed with trucks, bikes and rifles.

    "War wrecks are always the most sombre; I find they are not only museums but also memorials.

    "And I always have mixed feeling of excitement and sadness when exploring them. It is an intense experience on so many levels."

    Alex has explored wrecks both old and new.

    An intrepid British photographer has travelled the world snapping pictures of the bizarre things lying on the sea bed.

    Diving enthusiast Alex Mustard, 36, has made many strange discoveries while exploring 40 feet beneath the water's surface.

    His pictures, taken while investigating the insides of eerie shipwrecks, include barnacle-covered motorbikes once meant for British troops fighting during World War Two.

    Rusty British trucks also lie forgotten in their watery graves along with rifles that have never been used.

    And one extraordinary photo even shows the shell of the iconic VW Beetle car, now abandoned in the gloom of the murky water.

    Alex, from Southampton, Hants, said: "Wrecks attract divers because of the incongruity of seeing something from above the waves beneath them.

    "The VW Beetle was purposely sunk for divers and it's particularly bizarre - it's the last thing you would expect to sea underwater.

    "I find it fascinating seeing something familiar in an alien place - underwater.

    "I couldn't say how many wrecks I've seen but each is interesting in their own way. Each is unique, the features different on every wreck and the atmosphere varies too."

    One particularly fascinating wreck for Alex is the HMS Thislegorm - a British cargo ship that was carrying military supplies when it was sunk by a German bomber in the Red Sea in 1941.

    Alex said: "This wreck is still packed with trucks, bikes and rifles.

    "War wrecks are always the most sombre; I find they are not only museums but also memorials.

    "And I always have mixed feeling of excitement and sadness when exploring them. It is an intense experience on so many levels."

    Alex has explored wrecks both old and new.

    His most recent, the USS Kittiwake, a US military ship built...
