Several snakes and lizards made a slithery getaway after a car crashed into a Florida smoke shop that sells the reptiles.
Surveillance cameras captured the car as it plowed through the window of the Smoke ‘N Toke in a Hialeah strip mall Wednesday.
“I was happy no one was hurt,” owner Subhan Malik told FoxNews.com Friday.

The woman behind the wheel was dropping off her two-year-old daughter at the day car next door, Miami Fox affiliate WSVN-TV reported.
She may have stepped on the gas pedal by mistake, the station reported.

He said the missing reptiles were worth about $2,000.
