    HELP!!!!



    i have a power outage right now, and my snake temps are down to 82 and 80!!!
    Its only 10:00pm right now, so Im anticipating that the temps will drop even lower.

    What should I do??

    And it's underground equipment damage, so no idea when that's getting fixed

    put the tank in the closet ... and if u get real worried take him out and let him wrap around ur neck or wrist and he will take heat from u

    That's what I've been doing


    Do you think he'll be ok over night??

    Would a warm water bottle wrapped in a rag/towel work? I don't know, just throwing it out there!

    thats about all u can do bro .. unless u got like a battery operated heater then just throw that in front of the tank other wise theres not much u can do

    He's nosing around the tank looking for somewhere warm to go....I feel bad leaving him :(

    I don't have any kind of heater, and I wouldn't want to hook him up to something unregulatable like a water bottle...

    Is there something I can do to prevent this temp fluctuation in future outages??

    Well, 82 isn't all that bad, one night shouldn't be bad at all. On another note, that's one of the reasons I bought a generator:)
