FIRE at Boas and Balls in Colorado
Breaking news from today, there has been a devastating fire at the home of Lynn Kubic, owner of Boas and Balls, and proprietor of the Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo in Colorado.
Her home is a complete loss, and thousands of animals have been lost as well. No new updates at this time about any specific reptiles saved from the fire. 4 dogs died as well. Human beings all appear to be ok, so that is a piece of good news.
Fires hit especially close to home for us at Pro Exotics. Our lives were certainly redirected in late 2011. I hate to see this again.
More info at the links, we will continue to post updates as they come in:

That's devastating... At least the people were alright and from the report, sounds like there are some reptilian survivors as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

That's never good! Sad to hear they lost so much. Fire is an unforgiving beast, I'm glad they were able to make it out safe at the very least.

Auctions are good for raising cash. Just gotta get people to donate the desired items. Throw in some good looking balls be hard not to bid.
