FIRE at Boas and Balls in Colorado

I heard they lost 5 dogs but a majority of the snakes ended up fine after the fire was put out.

Yeah I just looked it up again. The snakes are fine but he house was lost as well as 5 dogs.

Thats terrible! I feel bad for them. If there's any way i can help I'm willing to as well! :gj:

Hate to hear this.

Prayers go out to them!

Wow this is just right in my backyard! It is very sad news, I hope someone local here in Denver can have some sort of auction or fundraiser for them, maybe even at the reptile expo if it still going to be held in May. Very sad story, I would be devistated. I would love to donate if there is something that goes on!

Waiting to hear updates. My concern is with the smoke and inhalation damage. In the Pro Exotics fire we had about a dozen snakes survive the day, but all then passed within two weeks from respiratory damage. Double heartbreak...

Wow, that is sad. I'm glad the family is at least ok.

That's terrible! Glad to hear no people were lost but that's still just horrible. Really hope the snakes continue to be fine, they and birds both have such delicate respiratory systems :/

the snakes might of lucked out with the fire in garage and the roof areas. it sound like the basement area was minor smoke/water damage. I betting that it possible the smoke and natural draft of a basement may of limited the smoke issue since it tends to rise with heat. ( it why they always tell you to hug the floor as your crawl out of a burning building the cooler/freshest air at the bottom .

How horrible. Sucks and there is simply nothing that you can do about it, making the feeling even worse. I am gald to hear that the snakes may have lucked out, but sorry for the dogs. I hope that, aside from the dogs, nothing else was lost that cannot be replaced with a check from the insurance company. I'm not far, just down in the Springs. Please let me know if I can help in any way at all.
