Pro Exotics fire

[Designer Geckos]

Sorry to relay some very tragic news. A colleague of ours, Pro Exotics, one of the biggest breeders of high end snakes in the US, has sadly burnt to the ground, killing all 3000 snakes inside. Some of the snakes were 20 years in development.

This very sad news affects us all, and our hearts go out to Pro Exotics and of course to all the snakes that helplessly perished in this awful event.

I can't imagine the horror of this tragedy. I think this has got to be my greatest fear as a reptile keeper/breeder. I am heartbroken and sickened for our friends at Pro Exotics, and send out prayers and support for Robyn, Chad, Jimmy, Eileen, Andy, and Nicci.

This is so sad. I feel horrible for those poor snakes. I purchased my bee from them almost a year ago.
