I have been thinking about this cause last year here in Kansas we got hit by an ICE Storm and my hometown was without power for 13 days. Where I lived in Topeka we lost power for 4 days but was lucky we had a wood stove. I live in an apartment now so I dont have that option. I would really hate to lose all 5 snakes exspecially since I will be buying 4 normal females weighing around 2000+ grams and a 08 male bumble bee. That would be alot of money lost.

I live in WI, and have yet to have a power failure.
BUT I am lucky that we have a gas stove and a gas powered central heating and a/c.
I would have to move them into the kitchen if need be by the stove.
I feed live and breed my own so I would probably if need be, feed off all my breeders and feeders.

i have a fire place and a generator, i live in a rural area in ohio and seems the county hasnt upgraded the lines in a few decades causing the street i live on to lose power very often lol. i lose power maybe 12 to 15 times a winter even if there is no type of storms for some reason. there will be people all around me with power but some how i am on a seperate grid than they are so when i lose power they still have it in places around me. i use a north star 10,000 watt generator just for my snakes and refrigerator and satelite.

Living in sunny South Florida where 70 degree temps equal winter for us I don't think I would have any problems with my snakes freezing but just in case I have a very large generator with a 150 gallon gas tank that I purchased when I kept reef aquariums. As for feeding snakes can go for months without food so that doesn't worry me either.

we use a large vent-free propane heater here, with little electric heaters for the bed/baths. I thought, oh, I'm okay, bring everyone in here, like we do with the humans. But I am planning to get 4-5 new babies in Jan. I would have to break quarantine if our power went out. hmmmm...... need plan. Good thread.

I have a generator,and my snakes feed live so I dont have to worry about my f/t going bad:D
