Police found and confiscated 13 exotic animals inside of a Crown Heights public housing project Friday afternoon, cops said.

The officers were in the middle of an unrelated search warrant at1625 Dean Street in the Weeksville Houses around 1:30 p.m. when they came across the owner’s stash of exotic and dangerous beasts.

Among the creepy creatures confiscated were five pythons, one boa constrictor, two bearded dragons, two alligators, one gecko, one scorpion and one tarantula, most of which were kept in enclosed fish tanks.

Animal Care and Control immediately responded and removed the animals. No one was at home at the time of the raid and cops said no arrests were made in relation to either the animals or the search warrant.

It is illegal to have exotic animals inside of public housing projects, police said.
