A La Porte man has claimed his snakes. Pet Supplies Plus was taking care of three snakes that survived a house fire nearly three weeks on Woodward St. Other snakes died.

 

Sean Snyder,  who manages the store, said the man retrieved his snakes late last week. Snyder says the snakes were well taken care of prior to the fire.

 

LaPorte Fire Chief, Andy Snyder, said the man revealed he had as many as 15 snakes in the upstairs apartment.

 

Originally, six were counted, but there were others burned up the fire department didn’t know about until just recently.
