SnakeBytesTV-Building Disaster

It's what all reptile collections fear the most, when some disaster happens that you have little control of. We finally got a taste of how it feels. Watch to see what happened and how it turned out. Just go to: www.youtube.com/snakebytestv please comment, rate and subscribe. As always we appreciate the support on the show. Please help us continue to grow by spreading the word. Thanks, Brian(BHB) and the crew

Brian, Mike and I weren't aware of this happening to you guys. I really need to keep up on your blog or we'd have been there with mops and buckets to help out any way we could.

It's chilling to watch the video and in my mind I can remember walking those same rows of snakes under much better conditions. I'm so glad no snake was harmed but I cannot imagine the amount of work and the long hours you folks had to live through.

I read the blog post when it happened, and I was wondering when something was going to go into SnakeBytes. Man .. that is just all over. I have had to deal with that before, but not in a commercial building and not when it's my stuff on the line. You are lucky to hae a great crew that stood by you and made sure everything worked out.

Good luck with continuing to get back to normal.

As always Brian and Lori, if there is anything we can do just let us know:)

Wow- bet that was stressful.

I'm really sorry to hear that happened to you..I'm glad your team was so supportive. Don't worry things will build back up to the way you had it, maybe even better then before..It's great to have such good friends when things like that occur in life :(

Thanks guys, it's all working out. As long as the animals and the crew were fine we can fix everything else. Just kind of made my nutty life even more nuts.lol We're hanging in there and when it's done it'll look like new again. Thanks again, Brian(BHB)

Looks like your crew really stepped up. Hopefully things are starting to get back to normal for all of you.

Wow i remeber reading it from your blog. And damn it most feel real sucky. Hope everything goes back to normal.:gj:

Wow Brian! Life has been pretty nutty for me too, so I haven't been keeping up with your blog lately. I'm so glad to hear that the animals and your crew are all ok! I was wondering how the contractors were going to react to the snakes - like that you included that bit!

Dang Brian... that just SUCKS!!!!

Brian,

Sad show man. But three words to remember: Thermal Energy System!

I own a water restoration company in Orlando and I deal with stuff like that every day. The beautiful thing about the TES is that there is almost 0 tear out and reconstruction. We heat up the wall cavities and the room up to 130*F if need be. If you wanted the room temps to be at a steady temp for your particular specification (snake temps), we set up air movers on t-stats (much like ranco's) and evacuate the inside air to control the temps. Humidity control could be done through low grain refrigerant dehu's.

If we're there within 24hours, there is zero chance of mold growth b/c most molds can't grow at temps above 108*F. The walls would be in the 130's, but room temps would be in the mid 80's if you wanted. And the structure would be dried out in roughly 48hrs. We recently did a 5 story condo flood and we were out in 40hrs.

The main thing to worry about is mold.

I would at least contact an environmental hygenist to check the building of mold growth once the work is done.

good luck, hope everything gets better!

Oh man, how awful! Condolences from your friends in the great white north.

I have to say, this is the biggest disaster I've seen since the Lions' 2008 season. I've been a Detroit fan since 1988 too, so I've seen some disasters!

I am glad to hear the animals were all safe. I hate that it happened to your shop though. I hope you guys recover fine.
