    Tragedy

    I just got home from a friends house. Somebody broke into my house sometime today. I found the place trashed. The worst part is whoever broke in must have unplugged the heat tape while they were looking for something. Two of my snakes are dead and 1 is barely hanging on. What can i do to help him? I am just holding him and trying to heat him up with my body heat. I dont know what to do.

    The other two were just babies. I dont know what time this happened but all 3 snakes were super cold. I thought they were all dead but my biggest male started to very slowly move and i instanlty picked him up and been trying to warm him up.

    That's terrible. I'm so sorry. Maybe try to heat the others for a few hours before you totally give up in them. That sucks.

    This is one of the most terrible things I have heard. I hope you have some sort of insurance or something. Like home owners or renters. Not even sure if that would cover something like that. Sucks!

    My big male seems to be wobbling a little when he moves.
