Private Project

Reptile House

A man looking to buy a snake gets far more than he bargained for as he is drawn into a mysterious woman's home of exotic reptiles. “Thena loves her precious reptiles, and closely questions any who come to buy one. The worthy may gain a reptile, but those who are not may lose their lives!”
“You don’t bait a spider in her web, or a lion in her den. Dare you meet Thena in the Reptile House?”
“No fake snakes!”
