I just wanted to tell the only people in my life, that would be able to understand what I'm going through right now, that I too, had a fire this morning in my shop. It was a TOTAL loss, and the fire gutted everything, including my whole collection of adult breeders. Adults, the majority of which, I nurtured and cared for, and raised from babies. And my mice colony. My poor little mice are all dead and burned up. My faithful little mice that tirelessly supported my beloved passion - my snakes.



And my Red Diamond Crotalus, that I caught 5 or so years ago, that I raised from a baby. Dead.



These were all my pets. I genuinly loved them, each one of them. And now, after suffering a horrible death, they're all gone. Nothin worse than looking around and seeing my beloved snakes

Scattered around on the floor, burned up and dead - those of which were somehow able to escape their melting tubs, and make a break for it.



I'm devasted, and sobbing like a baby as I type this. My point to each of you is to double check, and triple check your electical components and wiring. Please. I don't want any of you to go through what I'm going through right now, and what the folks at Pro Exotics is also going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to them as well.



I'll be fine, but it's gonna take a minute for me to regroup, and come to term with my horrific loss.



This blows.
