Early in the morning on Saturday July 19th, Vin Russo’s Boa and Python facility was reduced to ashes in just a matter of moments. Our family has suffered a devastating loss after an electrical fire destroyed everything. Vin spent the last 37 years building and dedicating his life's work to what was lost in an instant. We are heartbroken over the loss of our animals, some of which were with Vin for over 30 years.

He is safe from the tragedy yet we face an uncertain future. The liability insurance policy does not cover the animals, equipment or even the cleanup of the rubble and the deceased. Our family is now faced with the task of rebuilding our lives. Our family is reaching out to the community that Vin has known and been a part of his whole life.

Please consider donating as we enter an uncertain time and try to rebuild our lives. Thank you to everyone who has already reached out and for being a light in this very dark time.
