    That sucks, I hope they get your power on soon. If not, just get in a sleeping bag with them, lol.

    That's a good idea, have two of you get in a sleeping bag with the snakes and the body heat from both will keep them warm.

    I lost power for about 2 hours yesterday. I was about to fill soda bottles with hot water and put them in my tubs. Im on city water so I still get water when power is out. Just cant replenish hot water. Once the water heater is out its no more hot water.

    Were you able to find any hand warmers? If so, how many?

    Not a long term solution but your body heat can/will help too, put a snake or two in a pillow case and put the pillow case under your shirt, encourage other family members to do the same.

    If you have gas boiling water and having hot water bottles is another temporary option, ideally you want to pack your snake like you would if you were shipping them.

    And for the future invest in a generator or at least a buddy heater http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...5499_200395499 and 2 or 3 20lbs propane tank

    You may have to sleep alone for a few days if you want to keep them alive. To me it would be well worth it.
