State of emergency- no power no water! What can I do with my bp?

I'm located in southern Alberta where all the floods are happening. Water levels are supposed to peak tonight or tomorrow and while my part if town is well upland they still have to shut off our water and power. It's about 30 degrees C outside so it's a good temp for Dante, I think. At least it's not around 0. Anyway, we have a trailer and can access battery power and warm water but it's limited. What can I do to keep Dante's terrarium warm for the (aprox) next 3 days? Unfortunately everyone I know is also part off the shut off so I can't even move him

So long you can provide temps of 26 degrees it's not gonna be an issue and it's ok if you do not provide a hot spot for a few days.

And in case of emergency for a single animal the best option are to store a few heat pack used for shipping.

I think you'll be okay. I am stating the obvious, but don't try to feed during this time. If he needs fresh water, bottled would be best if you have it. Goodness knows what kind of nasties will end up in the water supply from the flooding. Here in Missouri, we flood every year just about, and after a while it kind of becomes second nature.

I agree with Deborah. Once this crisis is past, get online and order a few shipping specific heat packs, the huge 60-80 hour ones, to keep on hand just in case. They are not very expensive, and will last for a long time when stored properly. Better to be safe than sorry. I keep a bunch on hand at all times since power outages in wintertime here are pretty common.

I wish you all the best, and hope things get back to normal for you as soon as possible.

you can get heat packs for $1 at target that last 24 hours as well as a water bottle.

My only addition, be super careful with the heat packs from the store. They get WAY too hot, easily 165 degrees F. They also release some sort of gas that causes neurological issues in snakes (looks like a really bad spider wobble), and it could kill them. If you use them, don't put the snakes and heat packs in an enclosed area.

I keep some long lasting shipping heat packs just in case something like this happens.

Perhaps the noxious gas problem could be avoided by putting the heat pack under one side of the enclosure instead of inside it? With a rolled up towel maybe on the other end to try to level it. Or even elevating the enclosure over but not touching the heat pack to avoid too much temperature spike? I would only consider doing this in an emergency and only for short term, maybe an hour or two in the middle of the night at the coldest point to keep his body temperature from dropping too low. Barring the heat pack, you could try placing a couple pillar candles near the enclosure for a little while as long as you could watch the thermometer readings. I haven't encountered that sort of problem here, but I wouldn't worry overmuch about brief stints in less-than-ideal conditions, as long as we're not talking freezing or boiling. I'm sure whatever water you're drinking over the next few days will suffice for your BP as well.
