Yeah I probaly should have had something better than just taking them to someone elses house but thats what i did. Maybe next winter if this happens again i will try the hand warmer thing. That honestly never crossed my mind.

It's easy to think of what you could have done after the fact. You DID try to keep them safe. I hope you won't beat yourself up over it.

We are all human and even when we think we have everything covered to the max things can still happen.

Hand warmers are a great way to keep your snakes warm when the power goes out :) I always keep some around just in case. I had to use them once when the power went out at my apartment for 12 hours (also because of an ice storm) and they worked wonderfully. Just make sure you put them inside of a sock or something because they can get a little hot...I did that just to be safe :P
I guess if you have the money then a generator would be the best...but for us poor folks hand warmers and socks are an excellent alternative in my humble opinion.
Sorry for your loss though :( I would be so upset if that happened to me

Re: Ice storm casualties
my gosh i dont even know what to say.:tears:
we are lucky up here but we still have outtages and we got a generator, but i still keep those heatpacks around because that generator just might not start or if you can get gas.

Re: Ice storm casualties
perhaps someone could make a stickie of an emergency kit for those of us that aren't prepared. A simple how to, maybe??
and I'm so sorry about the kiddo missing the snakes. :(
