I'm new to BPs (and reptiles in general), and with winter coming up I've been wondering how to prepare for possible loss of electricity. I live in southern Maine, and last winter we lost power for several days, it got quite cold in our house. This doesn't happen every winter, but it is possible.

What do you folks do in this situation? I've thought about perhaps heat packs? Warm water bottles? Perhaps something battery operated?

I'd like to come up with something that doesn't need to be checked every few hours, something I could feel confident about while I'm at work. I'd prefer to not have to take days off to watch over my BP, my boss may not find that to be a very good reason for missing work lol.
