After a spark ignited at a home in East Berlin, Pa. causing it to burn down, it was discovered that the homeowner was a snake breeder and that seventy-five percent of his snakes had been caught in the blaze. How many snakes is that? Something like over 200 snakes.

The home in York County caught fire in the early morning, the AP reports. Fire Chief Larry Anderson said that after going in to rescue two people and a dog, the snakes were discovered in the basement.

According to the AP's report, Anderson told The York Dispatch that "the total number of animals was 'a three-digit number' but crews 'stopped counting after 200-something.'"
