BLACKSBURG, Va.?

UPDATED 12:37 p.m.: Virginia Tech police say someone has stepped forward to say a menagerie of snakes, bugs, and furry creatures found in an underground steam tunnel belongs to her.

Maj. Kevin Foust said Friday the woman called late Thursday to claim the collection, which is now in the possession of a group that handles exotic animals. he declined to identify the caller or why the animals ended up in the tunnel, citing a police investigation.

Workers on Tech?s campus made the unusual discovery earlier Thursday. the animals include snakes, a black widow spider, a cage of crickets, a tarantula, two lizards, a frog, three mice and a rabbit.

Faust declined to say what charges might be filed.the steam tunnels are off-limits to everyone except Tech workers.

????????????

Snakes, a black widow spider, and a cage of crickets were among the menagerie found in Virginia Tech?s underground steam tunnel network.

Campus police say the exotic array was discovered on Thursday and now they?re trying to figure out how they got there.

The Roanoke Times says the find included two nonpoisonous snakes, a black widow spider, a tarantula, twolizards, a frog, a rabbit and three mice.

Police Chief Wendell Flinchum says police don?t believe the animals were abandoned because they appeared to be in good condition.

Students living on the Blacksburg campus may keep fish in a 10-gallon aquarium. Under university policy, however, possession of any other pets on campus by students is prohibited.

The steam tunnels are also off limits.
