I run a reptile and exotic animal rescue in South Texas. We are having very cold weather.
I drove out to the rescue to check on everyone ONE MORE TIME even though I'd been out there many times today.
The heat had stopped working. We ended up having to move all the reptiles to my house. They would have died tonight.
It's crowded as f**k but everyone is alive. The 90 pound tortoise in my living room is probably gonna f**k some stuff up, but he's alive.
