Obviously my big one was the fire.

...most people know about. Watching my house burn. A fire starting in the back of the house and ending by blowing out my front windows... yet the ONLY room in the house not devastated by fire was the snake room. I lost 4 snakes over the months to follow from stress and illness related to the fire, but there were also around 40 that came out without a scratch, including 3 that escaped and were found in the rubble up to 3 days later.
