Sucks to hear that happened to ya'll. I'm glad everything was ok. Ya'll have such an awesome crew and an awesome business. I would hate it if something happened to ya'll, and all of a sudden we didn't have our Snakebytes episodes. Keep up the great work. You guys rock.
Dam i remember watching this episode after school! WOuld rush home every day just to watch the videos. I miss those times, the times where everything seemed so simple and fun! The new vlogs are legit awesome too!
Holy crap Brian, I'm glad everyone and all the snakes are ok, and I'm glad you guys got help as soon as possible to fix the damage. Hope everything goes well within the next couple of days. The worst natural disaster I've ever experienced was probably the first few hurricanes that hit central florida a while back. I've also experienced tornadoes when I visited family in Oklahoma many years back.
Being from the north I know all to well about those winter storms. They are super scary. Glad it worked out for you. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
GOOD LUCK BRIAN, on renovations, you got a Expo to get to in September and if you're not there it just wont be the same!! I'LL be by to say hi at the expo and again good luck, you have an amazing crew!!
I'm so glad you have things back under control - nice teamwork guys!! Brian I hope you are feeling better. So happy none of the animals were harmed from the storm. Whew!
Thats real tough Brian. Keep your chin up bud this too shall pass.
I live in South Florida and lived through Hurrican Andrew back in 93. My entire house/car/and basically ever valuable was lost in the storm. Roof blew off, windows shattered, had to run out in the middle of the storm and run to a nieghbors house. Was a rough year for us. But it slowly got better, and it will for your family at BHB too.
Dont lose hope and just look at this as an opportunity to do some new renovations @ bhb.
glad all the animals are ok Brian. When i was a kid we had a hurricane and it was scarey, We lost all our pine trees and had lots of roof damage. man it was scarey!
Sorry to see this, Brian. It's tough watching a lot of hard work go to waste, but I'm sure the facility will be as good as new in no time!
My worst disaster was about 3 summers ago at my cottage. There was a Tornado that formed right in our bay from the lake and ripped right past our cottage and through our property. It missed us by 6 feet and it tore down 62 of our largest trees, 3 of which just barely missed the roof of our cottage.
My worst snake disaster happened yesterday. My first ever Reptile (I'm 14) , a Florida Ribbon Snake, died in front of me. He had scale rot, and despite aggressive treatment, never really got better, and at some point also contracted a respiratory infection. He just started slipping away, no matter what I did. It was so sad because he was such an awesome pet. He was alert and so lively, but he handled beautifully... never bit me, never musked, nothing. My whole family loved him, and he's missed.
Im really glad that u guys got back on your feet. One bad thing that happened to me was that we had an tornados 8 days in a row, and we own quite a few reptiles reptiles, so we were afraid what happened to u, would happen to us, fortunately, it didn't, but it was still scary.
Sorry to see that happened to you guys. That is great that everyone pitched in and none of the animals were hurt in the process. Good luck getting back up to speed. We're all behind you.
Yeah, the construction guys are working today slowly putting things back together. That's crazy about the tornado, wild how you can get so lucky or so unlucky in some cases. Just happy the animals and crew made it through it. Thanks, Brian(SBtv)
Thanks, we'll keep the show going through it all. We're shooting today for coming weeks. We appreciate the support! Brian(Sbtv)
The craziest disaster I've experienced happened when I was 5 or 6 years old. I was visiting my grandparents on my mom's side when a tornado came and destroyed the next door neighborhood which was where my uncle lived. Also, it was right next to a lake and my uncle's house was the only one standing in the neighborhood. Anyways, nice video, guys! 😊
Thanks for the kind words! I'll look forward to seeing you there for sure and don't worry we'll be fine. Just happy the animals are doing great:) Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
Oh man! I moved to california from a Ohio (Toledo area) about 3 years ago. My whole family is back there in Ohio and they went through all of that, thankfully nothing happened to any of their homes, but there was a lot of damage. I feel for all of you on the Snake Bytes team! I am so happy to hear all your reptiles are okay.
I appreciate the offer, we're getting things back together pretty quick. Thanks, Brian(SBtv)
I'm sorry about what happened to the shop, I know you guys can get back on your feet.
I have a barn where we ride horses, about 3 years ago, the barn caught fire and all but one of the horses survived. Over 22 horses were killed and seeing them carried by construction was devastating. When it was rebuilt part of the indoor arena was also torn off by a tornado about a year ago. Crazy!
I'm glad you ALL were ok!
My worst disaster, Hurricane Fran actually hit Raleigh & Durham in 1996. Made it through the hurricane ok, then noticed water pouring from the woods. Nobody told me that Crabtree creek ran behind the apts. Water flooded to Butt level. It totally sucked. Lucky for me, I had just moved to an upstairs apt. however I still had to leave for 10 days because they condemed the bld. :/ What a pain!
I live in the suburbs, so the most excitement we get is when it rains three days in a row or we get temps over 85 degrees. And I'm grateful for that.
Sorry for all that you guys went through! Water coming through the electrical outlets, lights, etc...that was surreal! So glad all of you guys and the animals are okay. Born & raised in Indiana, so I've experience some interesting storms & tornados. Always lots of fun trying to move every single critter down to your basement, while listening to the radio reports & listening for the sirens, lol! Right now, getting over a wicked case of sun poisoning.

Brian sorry to hear about your disaster at your place of business I pray for a quick and fast recovery of your building and business. I hope no snake's were hurt at all in the disaster.
The absolute worst disaster was back in 96 when Hurricane Fran slammed into the North Carolina Coast. 26 lives where clammed and hundreds of thousands of houses were destroyed. I remember watching out the window of our house as trees where literally ripped from the ground roots and all. The scariest part was the roads where completely flooded and we where trapped without power and water.
In Hungary, we have floods and sudden storms just like you had. Once I had to run outside in my nightgown to rescue my bunnies from an out-of-the-blue-rainstorm. We were all wet, but safe.
Yeah, you're right down the road from us. It was a crazy storm for sure! Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
I was in Florida for that storm. It was a wicked blow for sure! Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
I know how scary it can be being in another country alone and not speaking the language, hard to explain that feeling unless you've been through it. Thanks for watching, Brian(Sbtv)
It happened at the right time of the year, all the animals are fine. We have had to move a lot around and things have been a mess. But it's slowly getting back to normal. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
it was june of 2012 I saw leaves blowing around. and it started pouring and blowing wind. luckily there are trees around my house. but the power went out and I had heard about tornadoes touching down in Roanoke Covington and out on 42. it was my worst nightmare.thankfully all my cats were inside except for one of my older cats. when I had forgot that she was outside I had a heart attack when the storm was over. I have a soft spot for cats. and a scare spot for terrible storms. I hate bad storms. if it ever happens again im gonna have a heart attack. I hate bad storms and I love cats,snakes and spiders.
About 3years ago we had 2 hurricanes hit us 3weeks apart we drove from sattelite beach to tampa twice. When we finally got home from a 5hour drive our house had no power had mold growing on one side and there was no water for 3days. i hope everything works out for you best of luck.
We're in Michigan, we normally don't get too bad of weather, but this time was the exception:) Thanks for watching, Brian(SBtv)
Man I am very happy you guys are ok! And the Snakes as well. You and your crew rock! Keep up the good work!
wow i cant believe you guys still made a vid! holy crap I'm glad to see everyone's OK. I'm sorry to see this happen. Everything will be ok!
Sorry Kel, I can't answer your question because I just can't think of anything super terrible that has ever happened to me, but I am so glad that none of the animals were harmed, and I wish you luck in your reconstruction. I can only imagine what you and Lori must have been going through. Take care.
Worst Disaster i was in, i was on holiday in the flordia keys when huricane andrew stuck, probily was the most horrific expericaces of my life, i went back there a few years later then huricane irine hit! i guess im just a huricane magnet, never been to america since! Good luck with the re-construction and welldone to the team for the support!
Glad you guys were unharmed and the animals made it through ok. I guess the worst natural disaster was the hurricane while the Daytona show was going on. Our sliding glass doors were moving and it was raining in our room. That was a crazy weekend!
That was a terrible storm for sure. Sorry to hear about your losses. Brian(Sbtv)
I hope you guys get back on your feet soon. Good luck with all the animals, your crew and your family.
If I can ask, what bulbs would you recommend. My 100 w heating bulb blew after four weeks.
Wow Brian! I am so glad all of your animals are okay. That is a big mess you had to deal with. Water damage is always horrible. Hopefully you guys can get everything fixed up and back to normal quickly!
Don't worry though, I am in architecture school just so I can make people completely water proofed snake facilities :P Seriously though, Keeping the water out and away from the building is the first thing I learned!
Tough break guys but I'm glad your snakes were all fine! Property damage is repaired, but life is not replaceable.
Hey Brian, Sorry to hear about the disaster that happened to your building. I know that you guys will come out on the other side of this thing stronger for having gone through it though. You guys have a great team who seem to really care about the animals and the business. You guys will work through it. Even though it seems like things probably couldn't be worse they could at least you guys got away with your health and the health of the animals.
Good luck to ya and God Bless.
Returning home from evacuating Katrina and finding my house had a tree through the roof! Two other trees fell on my shed and crumbled it. There were projectile holes all over my roof as well. We didn't flood fortunately.
We had a tornado come through our yard around three months ago. Lots of structural damage the same as you it appears. Sorry to hear about it, but I definitely know the feeling!
Brian - I'm glad everything will be OK! Fair skies in the future!
Ouch! Glad that everyone is safe and the animals were fine as well. Will keep you all in prayer.
Thanks for watching even when you don't like snakes. We hope you'll keep tuning in:) Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
Sorry to hear that. It was a terrible storm for sure! Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
sorry for wat happened
but ive just hatched my flirst litter of corn snakes, gorogus of really healthy but im wondering do u leave the umbilical cord to go by itself or can u cut it yerself?????????
Omg, I can't believe that happened. I'm so sorry to hear/see that. That looks like a lot, I mean A LOT of damage that I had ever seen before. I had never thought it would happen to you guys. I wish you guys luck to get everything to normal! I'm so glad/relieved/happy to hear that your animals are all okay :)
I never had a disaster before.
I work at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park as a sales clerk ( I hope to get into the bird or herp department at the zoo some day). While I was in one of the shops, the biggest earthquake I ever felt hit, and I was loaded on caffine. When the earthquake hit I was leaning on a counter and out of no where the counter starts shaking violently, I seriously thought I was having a seizure. The earthquake lasted a good 2 minutes. I think that was in April, in Baja California. It measured at 7.2
shit man, i hope you get everything fixed and back to normal. we had a storm rip through here(Toronto) the other week too it was pretty powerful. uprooted trees, downed power line posts, did quite a bit of damage.
Oh and you guys did an amazing job to just get right back on your feet and get it all done =) Same ol BHB glad to see everything turned out well and you guys are still in good spirits!!!
I live in one of those old, 60-something year old concrete houses here in NW Florida... when Ivan hit, we just boarded up the windows and holed up in my parents' room. I stayed with the dogs under their bed, and slept through the whole thing.
5 AM.
Dad wakes me up. I go outside with him; we're in the eye of the storm. The powerlines are buzzing, the wind is howling, and everything was surreal and beautiful. Of course, I'm no morning person. "Dad, can I go back to sleep?"
sorry to hear about that bro. we live in louisiana so major storms are of the norm here. i have sat through ike, gustave, lilly, katrina, and rita. so i know how yall feel. good luck.
hey i need some snake cage advice... i might get a columbian red tail boa or a ball python. how big is the cage that a rtb need once it is full grown? also how much do both snakes like to be handled? i want a snake that i can handle often
+Sydney Monminie I have a ball python, and he was nippy as a baby, and the more i handled him he calmed down. He's three now, and hasnt bitten since he was a hatchling. I cant say the same for boas, but maybe my friend's was just sassy by nature. Personally, id suggest a ball. theyre easy to work with, and dont mind being handled too much
Wild how that works, it was like that here to. A mile away it never even rained. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
wow brian sorry to hear about all the damage glad all the crew is ok and the animals too! hope you get all damage sorted soon!!
Shaun
OMG I'm so glad everyone is alright.
My worst: Ice storm in 12-2006. When the ice stopped coming down, my electric was off & it was silent outside. I live in the woods & it was beautiful... till the trees started cracking, breaking & falling sounding like hundreds of gunshots all night long.
I was terrified, waiting for one to fall on or thru my house. Some of the branches were driven 3-4 inches into the frozen ground! Then 6 days with no electric.
I didn't lose a single reptile!
All I cared about was the animals and the crew, the rest will be repaired as soon as possible. Thanks for the support! Brian(Sbtv)
I hope that everything goes well, but you guys seem to have everything under control. Good luck!
How are the eggs doing? Did you lose any of those due to the storm?
I went threw hurricane Andrew in Miami. It sucked. Things could be much worse with these storms.
Good Luck Brian!!
I remember watching that quake on TV, wow, I could not have imagined being there. Talk soon, Brian(Sbtv)
Yeah, those hurricanes can be insane. Glad you were alright. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
I remember your twitter update on that. Its weard how it seemed it only hit your side of michigan the hardest.
My worst disaster was when I left home to go to Japan. I had a layover in Fuke and had to spend the night. I was all alone in japan. I don't know how to speak Japanese and I had to find myself a hotel. But thanks to the kindness of a stranger I got a hotel room and back to the airport the next morning.
Glad to hear all your animals made it through ok. Sounds like your have a great crew there brian!
Crazy stuff man. Wasn't expecting this when I started the video. Lucky everyone is okay, including the animals. I take it from the restoration crew you are going to stay in the same building and fix it up. Good luck.
Snake bites are part of keeping snakes, you're a true keeper now. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
It will work out for sure. As long as the animals and the crew are fine everything else can be fixed. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
Awesome video but sorry you had to go through this it had to be traumatizing. I had a 70+ year old maple tree drop on my house two years ago when a twister came through. My house was totally covered in greenery, electrical wires on the soaked ground around my house and I was pinned in and they had to use chain saws to get me out. Broken glass everywhere, tons of roof and structural damage. Had all my snakes in totes ready to move them out and it sucked. I was a wreck for about a month.
Back on April 25th when I had been at a event held by Invisible Children called "The Rescue", my city had been hit by a tornado, we were outside when the tornado hit, in the middle of an open field the storm threw many things around, pulled signs out of the ground, and a bird lost control and hit me in the back of the head. Luckily the storm didn't cause any major injuries, just alot of structural damage.
That was a rough one glad you guy made it through that
Thanks, things will workout for sure. Appreciate the support! Brian(SBtv)
dang Bryan.... glad all the animals and crew are ok! sorry what yall are going through though :( hope everything works out!
I agree, you have to just look at these things as part of life. As long as the animals and the crew were fine everything else can be repaired. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
Yeah, I was in one hurricane in Daytona and it was nuts. Not sure I could live there knowing those things could hit anytime. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
the biggest disaster that happend to me was quicksand, we all headed down to the beach for a few beers last year and mr friend parked his new car on quicksand, it was hours before we could get it out lol. glad everything worked out and no animals were damaged, some of those rare morphs i see on your website reach $1,000 plus.
Hey! Brian hopping to see you guys at the National Reptile Breeders Expo 2009 in Daytona Beach... see ya there!!
I work at a major retailer and we got hit by a microburst over night. When we came in, in the morning, seven 2,000 pound HVAC units were ripped off their mounts and tumbled across the roof.. One of the units went 60 feet across the roof. There was probably 1" of water in most parts of the 60,000 sq foot building.
Every surrounding store was absolutely fine
oh my god i really look up to you guys i hope everything goes good i lost a home to a tornado almost lost both my legs too
i remember as a kid, our worst disaster was a very bad case of bad luck -was when 4 important household electrical items all went down and needed replacing in 2 weeks. It was the TV, then the fridge. then the washermachine and then the vacumn cleaner. A very expensive pay out for my father who was the only bread winner of the house at the time. but seriously the chances of 4 electrical items all breaking down at very close time of one another is very low. we must have got a curse somehow
Our worst disaster was when Katrenia came trought Fl. We lost like 2 trees, our neighbors trees fell on our shed and chicken coop. It was scary and fun at the same time.
I work in a hospital and over the course of one night as Im working there was a major ice storm and we got iced in. When you dont have nurses to replace your shift you cant abandon your patients. It got really hectic and after the ice melted enough to go home you bet I slept for almost 15 hours!
Yeah, that sounds like a bad situation, glad it all worked out. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
When I was younger we were hit by a hurricane.... It was 2x a strong as Katrina, but all the houses around that area are cement... But I still remember holding on the windows so they didn't blow in. And having to sleep in a maggot infested house with no power for two months.....
I'm in shock....!! I wish you all the best and wish the animals the best too. I'm glad to see that you are ok alond with the others. Your too passionate, too smart, too much of an amazing person to let a rain storm get you down!!! You are going to get threw this!! Hope to see you guys at the Daytona, Fl National Breeders Expo!!!!
We hardly ever get tornados either, but they freak me out! Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
wow, man, I'm sorry that that happened. I'm glad that your animals were safe. i know that you can overcome this.
Yeah, I can see how that can be scary. Glad it worked out for you. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
So far they have been good. But we have a long way to go, I meet with them again later today. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
man im really sorry, thats horrible, good news is the animals are ok! you guys will come out of this better than ever.
Yeah, that was such a terrible storm! I really feel for all you guys there. Thanks for watching, Brian(Sbtv)
Im so sorry this happened even though it happened a long time ago.
The craziest disaster that ever happened to me was in 1993, we had a fierce wind storm! The cherry tree in our front yard came tumbling down and blocked our front door. The door stayed trapped like that for a week! Funny thing was about a year before I had a dream that my sis and I were trapped in the house and the wind was blowing fiercely and all of a sudden we had trees all falling down into our house and we were running for our lives!
i live in NYC and there was a black out for like 3 days and i live on the 27 floor and my staircases have now windows so i couldn't go out side to get food or water for 3 days
Glad to hear that your collection is fine. Even if insurance covered for the building, there's no replacing a life.
We had a flood during my senior year in high school, while we were in school. the worst part is our school started to flood and it is the regional evacuation center. Don't think that was suppose to happen. Good luck with cleaning everything up, that water damage is a killer.
Thanks, it's going okay. Getting back to normal slowly. Thanks, Brian(Sbtv)
