It looks as though a rat had escaped a holding tub during the previous feeding session and had most likely chewed through a cable/thermostat probe and caused the heat cable to go through the roof which in turn melted and eventually ignited the plastic. That’s my theory anyway.
there ye go  |

That was my thought :) I looked though the topic but I can't actually see the poster or his friend saying that the fire was started that way but I am kinda blind lol. I did see someone say that's how someone else fire started, and another one that started with a broken stat :( |

That's so sad T.T I I know if that happened to me I couldn't keep the snakes afterwards or I'd have to move house... it's so sad though as they just look like they are dirty and sleeping. |

Oh geeze... I don't have a snake yet and even I'm a bit misty eyed. On the plus side, no one human was hurt and I'm assuming his house was all right. But still such a tragedy :( I notice that the thread was posted earlier this year so hopefully by now he's been able to rebuild his collection. |
