Yeah, not the up and down temps are giving you a great chance for a vet bill.
Sounds like you love with someone that doesn't like your snakes OR is just a plain IDIOT.

Tomorrow is feeding day. Anything wrong with offering food?

You could try. But I would give them a day or two to settle back in.
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Re: How soon will a RI show up?
I had a few other breeders that I know tell me that they had snakes shipped to them that came in cold. somewhere in the 50" and they were ok. the only things you can do is keep your eye on them, knowing what they just went threw.
the circuit breaker is tripping and shutting the power off. it's doing this because this circuit is being over loaded. (too many things plugged into this circuit) you need to plug some of these things into another circuit. if you don't and that circuit breaker fails to trip, it can be a start of a fire. it's tripping now to prevent this from happening. good luck with your snakes, hopefully they will be fine. don

Yeah there's three outlets connected together. I have my mini freezer for the snakes and the herpstat 4 plugged into one on an extension cord with the lights for the tanks plugged in on occasion. What I think did it was the roomies having a space heater on each of the other two going. They've been talked to about being careful what they having running on them, and also that I get notified ASAP if something happens with the power. My BF told me one roommate gave the line of "it's not their responsibility to check" if something happens. I'll remember that if I see a leak over their tv or Xboxes or if there's a lightning storm close I'll unplug my laptop and leave their electronics up to fate. My BF is going to be checking whenever he is home though. He doesn't care much for the snakes but he doesn't want them hurt or me upset.
Thanks guys! I appreciate it. I'm going to hold off on feeding then.

Space heaters and appliances that have compressors, like your mini-freezer, not only draw a good bit of current, but when they cycle on and off they have a very high initial voltage spike. So, while the circuit may not be overloaded if everything is running, the initial spike when an appliance or heater cycles on may be enough to trip the breaker.
Since your roommates have twice shown themselves to be unobservant and/or untrustworthy when it comes to monitoring the snake rack, you're going to have to take some additional steps to ensure that your snakes stay warm. Personally I would move the mini-freezer so it runs off of a different circuit. I would also place a big 'DO NOT TURN OFF' label on any power strips that should remain turned on.

Well if its a short temp drop they should be ok. A user on here told me its like when breeders take their collections to expos and are exposed to room temperatures for short periods of time. I had a power outage for about 11 hours once and was very nervous for nothing. But if this is frequently happening it probably will cause a RI.
