pro exotics burns down
Just a heads up, Pro-exotics reptiles caught fire and burned yesterday.
Former NFL Star Chad Brown Loses Thousands Of Reptiles In Pet Store Fire « CBS Denver
All of their 3000 snakes but one miracle boa was destroyed in the flames.
This is truly a devastating blow to our hobby, not to mention what it has done to the great people there.

Re: pro exotics burns down
ugh that makes me sick. I feel so bad for all those snakes and the people that breed them and took care of them. It's so sad  I wonder what caused the fire?? I really hope it wasn't someones fault  and that it was a mechanical issue or something out of human control.

Re: pro exotics burns down
It started in the unit next door.
Chad and Robyn travel to Africa to hand pick new BP morphs, These guys are the best of the best.
Many of the animals lost were irreplaceable at any cost.

Yeah I heard about this on FB. NERD posted something. It's just terrible! But it's good that they're going to Africa.

Re: pro exotics burns down
Thanks for posting Wayne, I was gonna do this when I got to work this morning. Its a shame that they lost so many fine specimens. I'm glad to see that that big one survived. Also they had some eggs that survived as well, they had some pictures posted on FB of a few small green tree monitors hatching.
here's the FB page
