Most people would get the creepy crawlies thinking about snakes, lizards and other reptiles. A reptile cafe in Malaysia may be a nightmare to you but the unique restaurant sees a lot of footfall, proving that there are people who love the company of reptiles. The restaurant, named Fangs by Dekori is Malaysia’s first reptile cafe.
