Snakes, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?

Snakes, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes?In Utah, emergency vehicles were called to the scene of trailer fire and quickly realized that they had much more to fear than just the flames themselves.  Upon their arrival, they were told by the owner that 19 pet pythons lived in the trailer with him and needed to be rescued.  All parties involved did everything in their ability to make sure all the snakes escaped unharmed, even resorting to CPR with the aid of a small plastic pipe. Unfortunately, only 11 out of the 19 pythons survived.  It was determined that the accidental fire was caused by a faulty heat lamp in the one of the snake’s cages.

    That sucks. I’d make sure to get all my snakes out. I have like 18 pythons/boas so i can sympathize. Snakes make awesome pets. It’s too bad that people hate things they dont understand.
