A family-run reptile farm in Manitoba that suffered $100,000-worth of damage in a fire last week has been getting support from the local community.
Westman Reptile Gardens owners Dave and Candi Shelvey house and sell hundreds of reptiles like cobra snakes and alligators, but the business caught fire Wednesday.
Their daughter Erika Shelvey started a GoFundMe that has almost hit its $10,000 goal, and she says other people have dropped off donations in person.
Shelvey says investigators blamed the fire on a shorted electric fence.
No reptiles were harmed in the fire, but rodents used for feed, shelters, and storage all perished.
