Firefighters feared the reptiles would slither out of the Reptile Land pet store in Hull, England and cause danger in the nearby neighborhood. Those evacuated were taken to a soccer stadium while firefighters battled the fire, which was believed to have been caused by an electrical issue, the Guardian reported. The store's owner told the newspaper all the reptiles were accounted for, and believed 10 snakes, two tortoises, four iguanas and an unknown number of scorpions died during the blaze.
