    That really sucks.
    I don't want to give any false hope but try to warm up all of the snakes.

    Crossing my fingers and hoping the little guys are just in a sort of stasis and only seem to be gone.

    Oh my gosh, that's terrible. Did your house get really cold? Or do you think they did something to the snakes? They can live at room temp for a few days without health issues (usually). If you can plug the heat tape back in do that and put the snake back in the tub. If you don't have power, but have a gas water heater fill up bottles with hot water.

    I keep them in my room and it is kinda cold so i have a heater that keeps the temperatures up but the heater and heat tape were plugged into the same outlet and they either unplugged it on purpose or tripped on the cord while looking through my room. It doesnt look like they did anything to the snakes. They were just super cold.

    This is so sad. I would cry for days if anything happened to my snakes. Long story short, one of my snakes fell about 11 feet inside his tub and even though he was fine, I still cried for a while because it scared me so much. I really hope they pull through for you. Focus on getting them warm and catching the guy that did this to them!

    I had an escapee go "hard" on me once.
    She was around 400 grams, I got a plastic shoe box for my hatchlings, a bunch of tissue, and 4 heat packs, kept the snake in the box with the rest of those things under my blanket over night to find her a little slow the next morning, but she went back to normal a few days later.
    She's been healthy and feeding well for me ever since!
    I hope they all make it!

    I am so sorry, I cannot even imagine what you are going through. I hope they find the scumbag! Warm them up best you can and hope for the best. I would imagine you will be dealing with residual issues (RI, Neuro) if they recover, but at least you have your babies back! Let us know how they turn out, my heart aches for your loss!

    Sorry to hear about the break in and hopefully they can catch the guy. Like everyone else has said, just warm them up. It might be a little late for this but massaging can also help the bloodflow to the tissue. It works well with mammals but the circulatory systems are similar. Also check to make sure they aren't overheating. Warming them up slowly is best. I would also double check your thermostat to make sure the settings didn't get messed up.
