URGET HELP-- snakes went 15 hours without heat.

[KingKuma]

I woke up this morning and saw none of my snakes in one rack had any heat. After 30mins of rearranging to get them warm i sorted out the issue and the heat matts came back on. They were sitting about 66F do i need to get them to the vet?? or will they be ok after they warm back up?

They'll be ok. You want to warm them up slowly. Get them to room temp and increase the heat in increments. I guess 5 degrees F per hour(someone else will know better). Keep an eye on them for the next week or 2 for unsual signs or sickness.

Let them warm up and watch them carefully. Just because they cooled down for that long, doesn't necessarily mean the worst has happened. Cold blooded animals can be very resilient with cold temperatures. Truth be told, they handle being too cold for a short period of time better than they handle being too hot for the same time frame.

Thank you for your quick replies i have them slowly warming up now, sorry if this isn't as urgent as it may sound but i :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: myself when i saw they were sitting at 66f and felt horrible that they were like that when i was asleep..
