I have had a few reps over the years and right now a corn snake yearling and a just got a brazilian rainbow bow all set up , and it hit me... I have not planned for this situation as it only happens once or twice a year for a short time. But once it last for 3 days during a noreaster storm (before i had snakes ) and it got farily cold indoors . I'm in an apartment so I can't really use a generator , how about something like these hot paks for use in a pinch? I guess regulating tempature with these would be tough but better then nothing . How do you FL people do it during hurricanes if you can't use a generator ?
