[lacemoniter]

P.E. has some amazing animals it's a shame that it burnt down.

Just imagine all the ball pythons, monitors and other animals that could of been saved.

[bcbarkercreations]

Thats horrible news, very sad

[reptile411]

@bcbarkercreations Yes it is.

[bl1nd88]

that's horrible hopefully they don't give up and keep going

[reptile411]

@bl1nd88 I agree, it would suck if this was it for them. I don't see any indication of that though.

[IvIustangsvt2003]

thank you jason for informing everyone. =]

[reptile411]

I saw the pictures on facebook, just heartbreaking. My thoughts are with them!

[reptile411]

@KayyViperVenom I know, it's terrible, I had visions all night of snakes burning to death.

[KayyViperVenom]

@reptile411 Yeah, it really put a downer on my day, just imagining the last few seconds of their life, just terrifying. I give so much credit to the firefighters for bringing out the boa, because you know some of them were terrified of it..

[reptileman24]

that is so sad millions of dollars worth of animals gone

[reptile411]

@reptileman24 I agree, even all money aside, thousands of animals were lost today and peoples lives shattered. They are keeping their chins up but you can see the pain.

[reptileman24]

@reptile411 yes my heart goes out to the owners

[Snapscape]

@reptile411 Sorry about that.

[Snapscape]

@reptileman24 %#$@ the money.

[reptileman24]

@Snapscape obviously i was more getting at how many animals suffered and died

[Snapscape]

@reptileman24 My comment was actually intended for the original comment.

[reptileman24]

@Snapscape obviously



[NorCalExotics]

Thou I never meet him Chad Brown seemed to be down to earth and I'm sure a pleasure to deal with, is interviews were great! Sad day for our reptile nation....

[reptile411]

@NorCalExotics thumbs up.

[RMTWGR]

Robin posted about an hour ago that 6 rat snakes, 1 boa and a handful of eggs survived the fire.

[reptile411]

@RMTWGR I put that on G+ and FB, hard to update a video so I am posting updates to the social networks. Thanks.

[reptileman24]

@RMTWGR at least it wasnt everything i hope those animals can get back to health

[Snapscape]

I'm not a fan of pet stores for reasons like this because they have no chance if there is a fire. There should be limits to the number of animals a pet store can have at one time to keep losses like this at a minimum. This makes for a depressing week.

[reptileman24]

@Snapscape so ur against big breeders to because big breeders have lots of animals to and thay are just as much at risk for a fire

[Snapscape]

@reptileman24 Breeders have facilities that are better equipped to handle fires. That's one responsibility when caring for so many animals. These reptiles might of had a chance with a proper sprinkler system. Also some breeders raise these animals in their natural habitat and don't have much of anything that can catch fire.

[bloodvile]

Hopefully more survived by crawling into glass water bowls or figured out quick ways to adapt to the heat,:( if it was only one snake surviving that's a really bad fire.

[slimgezy]

eh, bravo



[HitomiNoRyu]

That is horrible! An entire livelihood destroyed...it'll take YEARS to recover from something like that considering the place kept 3000 snakes!

[reptile411]

@HitomiNoRyu I know I know

[FrznGmr]

Our hearts go out to them.

[reptile411]

@FrznGmr Right there with ya

[bigdylan200]

That is Pish hopefully they died quick than slowly a feel sorry for the snakes and the the guy that bread or bot the snake wit a loss

[reptile411]

@bigdylan200 I know, its sad for both sides. Hopefully they can rebuild but so much was lost.

[TimmyGal]

Oh I know how that feels :( I'd be totally devastated!!!!

[reptile411]

@TimmyGal Me to, I am interested to hear the cause of the fire. 

[zambimaru]

Damn. 

[reptile411]

@zambimaru I know

[RMTWGR]

This is a really unfortunate situation. Hopefully the animals that perished died quickly. 

[reptile411]

@RMTWGR We can only hope

[reptile411]

@WazUpPersonWatching Can't even imagine the loss.
