    Collection Gone

    Due to the freak snow storm a few weeks ago I have lost all 7 snakes. The adult normal female who just laid a clutch this year and who we were extremely attached to, adult male pastel, the 4 hatchlings (3 pastels 1 normal) and a newly acquired 2011 male cinny. My generator wouldn't start, even tho I ran it about 3 weeks prior with no problems. No hot water after a shirt time due to no power. Heat packs only lasted so long. And we couldn't hold them for a week straight and keep using body heat. We were snowed and plowed in bad and all my neighbors, family, friends and co-workers had no power for almost a week. I tried everything we could think of. Generators and heaters were sold out, gas was nearly impossible to get. This just broke my heart and my wifes. Maybe we will get more at some point but right now its hard. I'll prolly be taking some time away from the forum to let this pass.
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.

    That's tough. I hope you can keep your eyes aimed forward and carry on. If you really enjoyed the hobby perhaps you will decide to get a few snakes and keep going.

    Regards,
