It is one thing when the electricity in the house goes out. But the furnace?

Yep, I have no heat. In Minnesota. In February. It is -23 here right now. Woke up FREEZING. Looked in the snake tank - the ambient air, WITH the ceramic heater, is 50 degrees, leaving the rest of the house about 40 at *best.* The hot spot is at 89 still, which is amazing (wish I could fit in there with him). Argus is still chipper and poked his head out at me when I moved things around. I moved the heater closer to the hot hide and called the maintenence people, who are coming with space heaters right now.

I never even considered it as something that might go wrong. Naive, I know. I think I should go get a space heater of my own just in case. the maintenence people provide them if needed, but it's still nice to have one of my own. SO happy with my UTH and thermostat. My bird is pretty miserable, but she is less prone to temp problems than the snake it! I am prepared for no electricity, but no heat?! Ugh.

M hands are so numb I can barely type this. I don't even know why I'm posting - Maybe as a heads up to have a backup plan for everything!
