COPS RAID A SUSPECTED DRUG HOUSE IN QUEENS & FINDS A ZOO INSTEAD!

It was a little jungle in there!
A nondescript house in Queens was anything but Friday, after cops carrying out a drug bust found a homemade zoo - which included a baby caiman, eight dogs and snake, sources said.

The menagerie at 199th St. was home to about a dozen animals.

The wild collection included geckos, two marmosets and three tarantulas.

"What?" said one neighbor about the tarantulas. "Those cost a lot of money."

Police did not give details about the bust. The registered owner of the house could not be reached.

The home's garage was set up with cages that housed a monitor lizard, a snake and two iguanas.

The dogs - seven adult pit bulls, one puppy and a bulldog - lived in the backyard.

The puppy's ears had just been cropped. "My guess is that he was breeding them," said Mike Pastore, director of field operations for New York City Animal Care and Control.

Pastore said the animals appeared to be well-cared for with food and water. "All of the animals will be evaluated at the shelter," he said. Only the dogs and geckos are legal to own in the city.

The animals will be held for seven days, after which the owner can reclaim the legal ones. The others will be sent to licensed wildlife rehabilitators.

The wild discovery stunned long-time residents of the tree-lined Springfield Gardens neighborhood.

"This is a nice block," said Calvin Roberts, 84, who watched from his porch as investigators removed the animals.

"Sometimes things like this happen, but I'm not leaving."
