The unimaginable... ALL OUR ANIMALS LIVED through the fire!!!

[Mettle]

Hi everyone, I'm the "friend" that made the trip down with Zoe and Thierry yesterday.

Honestly, it was great meeting Bruce and his friends. (Bruce: Thanks your friends for us for opening up their home for a few hours and being just so all around fantastic!) If only we could have met under better circumstances. Or known that it was Bruce's birthday! If we had known, we would've brought a cake.

You folks are a fantastic crew here. All the well wishes to Bruce are simply astonishing. The support is just great. I believe Bruce would've done the same thing for someone else in a similar situation which is what made it so easy for us, I think, to do what we could to help. His love and passion for his animals was very apparent and they are all wonderful, well cared for examples of what fantastic animals look like (even after surviving a fire!).

I gotta say... Hearing the stories of how quickly the fire spread were scary. The fact that the snake room survived so in tact made my jaw drop. What an experience. I can't even imagine... So really, at the end of the day, how could we sit by and not help?

Thank you Bruce for trusting your snakes with us. We'll take good care of them and I'm sure we'll all post some updates when we can.
