FIRE at Boas and Balls in Colorado

[boasandballs]

Waiting to hear updates. My concern is with the smoke and inhalation damage. In the Pro Exotics fire we had about a dozen snakes survive the day, but all then passed within two weeks from respiratory damage. Double heartbreak...

Yes Robyn you are right.
So far I have lost about 70 of the bp's, my leachies, and several chameleons. Most of the bp's drowned because of the water to put out the fire.
Now there is a lot with ri, and we are treating them, I have lost some from this.
It has been hard and time consuming to get there cages moved and heat re-set up. A lot of the thermostats were damaged by water or probes pulled out when the cages were moved out of the house. Thank god for the firefighters, there was a lot of them helping caring cages out and loading them onto the two skid steers to move them. It took 5+ hours to pull all the snakes and move them to our rodent barn. Then two days and a u-hall to move them to one of our Jurassic pet stores.
Now that they all have heat again I hope we keep the losses to a minimum.
Sadly we did not have business insurance, but on the bright side I have had 2 clutches of baby boas born since the show and one clutch of bp eggs laid. I don't have an incubator anymore so that is the next hurtle to go over.

The fire was started in the garage. The fire investigators have determined it was a dear mouse chewing a wire on my silk screen heaters cord.

The hardest loss for us right now has been the dogs. You can see some of the on www.greatwhitegoldens.com.

We are still in a hotel and it sucks. I hope we can find a rental soon.

Best news is we got the go ahead to start the rebuild.
