Posted - 14/04/2013 : 12:55:53 Such sad news about the reptile house at the zoo in Scotland. I can't begin to imagine how devastated the owners, staff and volunteers feel. R.I.P all those lost. Fingers crossed for the few rescued reptiles. I hope they make a full recovery from the effects of the fire. |

Posted - 14/04/2013 : 20:15:57 Such a shame, hope they find out what caused it so it doesn't happen again... I imagine it will be a dodgy heat source, not enough money in many zoos for stuff like stats. According to their FB page 2 meerkats survived in addition to the caiman and otter. |

Posted - 14/04/2013 : 15:31:59 Very sad. I was just reading about it... It reminds me of the pro exotics fire in 2011.

I am sure that the zoo was as safe as it could be and the chance of a fire was mitigated against but it goes to show that the danger of a fire is always there.
Even with just a few reptiles in the reptile room at home I worry about what would hapen if a mat sparked. I feel so sorry for everyone at the zoo. |

Posted - 14/04/2013 : 13:20:00 How heartbreaking is that I've just listened to the news report and apparently it's a privately owned zoo and all the animals where rescues I could just sit and cry :o( |
