A widow has overcome her lifelong phobia of snakes - by adopting a nine foot long Burmese python.<br /><br />Rosie Kin, 63, was terrified of snakes until her daughter Rachel Kin, 33, moved in with her last year to keep her company after her husband died.<br /><br />Rachel had recently rehomed a six foot long ball python for a friend, who also moved in with her, despite Rosie's protests.<br /><br />But after spending some time with the python, Rosie gradually began to overcome her fear.<br /><br />So much so, that last month, she adopted Amun-Ra, a nine foot Burmese python, who she rehomed from a reptile centre that was shutting down.
