    Freezing cold bp emergency help
    Long story short my house mate drunkenly opened and didn't close my viv. After an hour of frantically searching I found her. She is hardly moving, drowsy. Looking drunk. Tongue moving very slowly. Do I heat her up fast? (Ie put her next to my heater) it just put her straight back into viv? Will heating her up quickly be bad for her? She looks like she is about to die ans my room is cold and mouldy.
    Sorry for this rushed topic, I'm panicking and pretty much in tears.
    (PS: time for a viv lock)

    To add, my estimate is that she has been out for at least 2 hours. Please help! She is not moving

    I have had snake escapes before andi turn the heating pad in low so the sudden heat doesn't shock the snake. My advice is stay calm and put her back in her Viv.

    I held her for a little under the heat lamp. She started moving a bit more and seemed fine. I then took her out to my mini heater and chilled in front of that. She then bit me for first time. Little :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:! Lol. Sorry for panicking.

    I'd just put her back in the viv and let her thermoregulate herself.

    I would also not handle her for a while because an event like that is very stressful, I'm glad you found her and she is safe.

    ...and then go slap your housemate and hopefully knock some sense into them:rage:.

    Yeah go to the grocery store and invest in a lock of some sort My roommate threatened to take Perry out partying with him and I bought padlocks for both of my snake tanks (one great thing about PetSmart, locking tank lids with a place for little pad locks). We have lots of parties and I know someone would try taking them out so I figured it was a safe idea. Also, just give her time, wait a week before handling and let her just sit in a warm, safe place and threaten your roommate and tell him next time you won't be nice and he won't have a place to room anymore

    I'm glad she's doing better. My advice would have been to put her in the viv as well. I have locks on everything because I don't trust drunk people ;) We don't have parties at our house because of the snakes, but I still don't want family/friends that come over to open tubs and forget to shut them.
