The animals included snakes and other reptiles as well as fish, rodents, birds and rabbits.

"This is a good reminder, when rehoming an animal, make sure to assign a financial value to the pet so that the new home will value and properly care for the animal," said the humane society in a statement.

The surviving animals are now under emergency care.
