Animal Care and Control confiscated a menagerie of exotic animals from an apartment inside a Brooklyn housing project Friday as the result of an ongoing police investigation, NYPD officials said.

The list of animals found inside the fifth-floor apartment at the Weeksville Houses on Dean Street includes five pythongs, two bearded dragons, two alligators, one gecko, one scorpion, one tarantula and one Boa constrictor.

The animals were taken into custody by Animal Care and Control. There were no charges issued against the pet owner.
