    Help!!! No electricity
    Last night I checked on my snakes (uk time) and the heating was not working, they were at about 21C (69-70F), I relised there was low electricity in all the plug sockets, none of them worked. I was extremely worried so I fiddled with the electricity but it didnt work, I had no hand warmers and no shops open so I put duve's, towels, loads of other stuff on top of them for the night. I woke up this morning and they are at 19C (66F). What can I do and at what temperatures can they survive at, are they in danger????? There are only corns and BP's.

    The corns will be fine. The Ball Pythons need heat. Put hot water into water bottles. Put the snakes into small tubs or pillow cases. Then put both the secured snakes and hot water bottles into an insulated box like a cooler for example. The hot water bottles should keep them warm for a few hours. And if your snakes are in a pillowcase, make sure they're not directly on the water bottles.

    And if you can't warm the water your next best option is to get some of those single use hand warmer packs. Pop one or two and wrap them in a towel to protect your animals from overheating.
