Power is out and I am worried about my.snakes

[rmfsnakes32]

Ok so power went about 20 min ago power company said should be back on by morning. But what do I do to keep my snakes warm its in the low 50s outside and its an old house a bit drafty! Any thoughts anyone?

cover the cages with blankets or towels.

it's not quite winter yet, so you should be OK.

Seaman from eons past were taught that one of the most powerful, long lasting and reliable heat sources when no fire (or in your case, electricity) was available is, in fact, the naked human body insulated with dry cotton blankets. The average human body will radiate heat at a temperature of around 87 degrees f consistently and without need to stoke any flames for long periods of time.

Just a little food for thought.

Thanks I will have make the snakes take turns sharing body heat lol I have 11 of them! But did cover everyone with towels blankets and hoodies I moved all tje totes to the middle room in the house with the door shut stays warm if it wasnt all ready occupied I would use that for the reptile room

That sounds like they'll be fine then. Also, you may want to see if you can find some cheap heat packs/hand warmers and keep a few on hand.

Thanks Rogue thats a great idea had not even thought about

Small personal propane heaters are cheap, and don't need power. a handy item to have as a backup.

Well good news the power came back a few minutes ago guess I worried for nothing lol

Do not be so thick, my friend. You have learned a very valuable survival technique this night! Store this knowledge in yourself and never forget it! It may save your life one day.

Very true I did just praying this doesnt happen in the dead of winter. Im going to invest in a bunch of pillow cases so I can tuck them in with me in bed if it happens again!
