The residents of this Brooklyn apartment were some strange animal lovers. On Friday evening, the NYPD removed 13 strange animals from an apartment, including two alligators, two bearded dragons, a boa constrictor, five pythons, a tarantula, scorpion, and a lone gecko. According to neighbors, there were other large animals seen coming in and out of the apartment, including pit bulls.

The apartment wasn't raided because of the animal collection, however. There had been an issue with leaks in the past, and the tenants had denied the maintenance workers access. That's probably because they were housing a shit-load of animals you can't normally find in Brooklyn.
