A fire has completely destroyed a home in Brighton, Colorado Thursday morning and has displaced two adults, five children and as many as 8,000 snakes and reptiles.
The owners of the home are reportedly breeders of rare snakes, Fox31 reports, and also own a pet store in Thornton. Incredibly the majority of the snakes, which were in crates in the basement, appear to be in good condition.
Firefighters are now working with the homeowners in an effort to get the snakes out of the basement and into a new home.
