Two brothers and a woman were arrested after cops discovered animals, birds and sea creatures in their one bedroom apartment in New York.
Yesenia Crisostomo Diaz, 43, her husband Richie Rodriguez, 29, and his brother Willie, 28, were arrested on Friday for keeping the animals in their South Bronx home and exposing a child to the creatures.
The New York Post reported that police found two 80-pound snapping turtles in a custom 200-gallon fish tank, six smaller turtles, a two-foot eel, two pigeons and four finches inside their one bed apartment in a public housing complex.
Richie Rodriguez is seen holding one of his pet snapping turtles which cops seized Friday
They also found a dove, a possum inside a kennel and a pit bull inside a bedroom.
Police searched the Adams Houses apartment Friday and found a collection of creatures cramped inside the home, according to authorities.
The trio were each charged with a violation for keeping a prohibited wild animal and charged with acting in a manner injurious to a child because Richie’s 6-year-old daughter sometimes visited them.
Speaking from his home in Westchester, Richie, 29, insisted he has a passion for animals and likes to care for them.
He told the New York Post: 'My hobby is my animals. Everyone has a passion. For others, it’s drugs and women. For me, it’s animals'.
Rodriguez said he bought one of his turtles in a store almost years ago and believed that because they were for sale he did not need a permit to own them.
A possum similar to the one seen here is contained in a list of creatures which cannot be sold, given, received, kept, or exhibited in New York City unless they are in a zoo or aquarium
Finches similar to the one seen above are permitted to be kept as a house pet provided they pose no risk to native wildlife and endangered species in New York
He claimed such his is love of animals that he took the possum into his house after finding it injured in a nearby park.
He had nursed it back to health over the past few months.
Rodriguez claimed he was angry that police had taken his goldfish, which is not exotic. He was also annoyed they took his brother’s pit-bull puppy for which he claims they have papers.

An NYPD spokesman told Dailymail.com that the animals were found 'enclosed in a small tank or cage.
'They appeared to look healthy and Animal Care and Control was contacted. All animals were removed from the location', he added.
The spokesman could not say how big the apartment was or whether it was located on the ground floor of the building.
Animal Care Centers of NYC, which is currently taking care of the creatures, said they were all in good health.
Neighbors claimed that they weren't dismayed by having so many rare animals living in their midst.
Ramon Rosario, 52, who owns two parakeets, told the New York Post: 'Everyone in this building has animals'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
