Firefighters in Keithville responded to a fire over with multiple pets over the weekend. Crews say multiple dogs, cats, turtles and rabbits were caged inside the house. Firefighters worked to rescue the animals while they put out the flames.
A six foot 30lb albino boa constrictor was found with some minor surface burns and was taken to Steve’s Snaketuary for rehabilitation. Authorities say he is expected to make a full recovery.
KTAL NBC 6 says that Steven Kennedy, the owner of Snaketuary, says that a woman was watching the snake for the owner at the time the fire happened. He says due to lacking the correct permit, the woman can’t get the snake back. Kennedy will take care of the boa constrictor until the owner can retrieve it. The Snaketuary also took in two box turtles rescued from the fire.
