I am so sorry to read about the fire and you loss. It is so awful!

As everyone else is saying - do not blame yourself. I have worked with handling burnt down houses once, and I have seen my share of destruction due to fires. Most of the time noone is to blame - it is just awful accidents...

A friend of mine with 40+ yrs experience with reptiles witnessed his entire house and outdoor enclosures go up in flames 1Ã?â??Ã?Â½ yrs ago. He lost more than 500 animals and only a few animals survived this terrible fire. He and his wife lost not only all their belongings - they also lost what had taken a lifetime to build and care for.

A fire has nothing to do with the ability to take proper care of these wonderful reptiles - if it had, my friends wouldn't have lost their home and their dream...

It may take quite some time for you to get back on both feet and let go of this nightmare - normal human reaction - but I hope you will be able to move on and go on soon. I hope you have a great family and some greats friends helping you with a place to sleep and helping you rebuild your everyday...

Lots of thoughts from Denmark
