Hi everyone,

I just read this article in my local newspaper. I thought it was great to read about an instance where a herp received such good care in the midst of a home tragedy. The newspaper had a picture too, but it is not in the online article.

Pet Boa Pulled From Fire

From the article:
Firefighters found the snake in a room that wasn't directly affected by the flames.
Because the snake needs a warm climate to survive, firefighters kept the snake inside its glass home.
When power to the heavily damaged home was turned off, firefighters set up a generator to keep the heat light directly on the snake.

I'm going to send that Fire Department a big kudos. If you'd like to do likewise, you can reach them at:
