Christie (tigerlily) and I got talking recently in AIM and were both commenting how awful it would be were our power to go out in the night while everyone was asleep and therefore would not know immediately that our snakes had no heat source.

Well after a bit of googling I found this idea. It's actually on a site for sleep disorders (kind of handy as they believe Mike may be suffering with quite bad sleep apnea so I will be doing even more googling on that topic). It seems like a smart option and is pretty cost effective as Christie checked shipping to her and it was very minimal.

It will sound an alarm like a smoke detector designed to wake a sleeping person if the power goes out as well as other things for $39.95 plus shipping. A lot of power loss alarms are hooked up through phone lines and cost a fair bit so this was an interesting find. Hope it might be of use to any of you.
