HELP! Lights are out!

[psycho]

My lights just went out! I don't have any heat packs at the moment but I will buy some...I'm posting this thread through my phone...do any of you gouys have any ideas on how to keep my snakes warm 'til the lights come back up?

[Sariel]

You can do like I did with my male when my power went out aand stuff them down your shirt


Only if theyre sweet and well handled though >.>

Hopefully your power will come back on soon. Outages generally dont last too long if theres not some kind of disaster going on. Id wait alittle while before panicking.

Fill some bottles with hot water, but make sure you don't make it too hot. If you make it barely luke warm it should be good, then change it every little while.

That is actually a really good idea since you always usually have water when you don't have power. I would try that, put the water bottle in the tubs with them and just change it out ever hour or so to help generate heat.

Go out and buy heat packs. You snakes will be okay for a few hours until you get home with the heat packs.

If you buy heat packs, just be sure they don't get too hot. Some of the hand warmer heat packs get suuuper hot. You may want to wrap them up in some newspaper and monitor their temperature level.

I've used both the heat pack method and also the "stuff down your shirt" method lol. Both work pretty well

Umm hot water form the hot water tank... Hurry though just due to it will take electricity to produce more hot water.. worse case ..

big jacket and your body heat this is all depending on how many and how big your have plus types..

Cab you make a fire outside?? heat water that way when your hot water tank is empty..

I wish you luck... save for a generator..

Hot water tanks are usually gas, it should keep working. I would try that and get the heat packs. Best of luck

Not true. In many parts of the country, these are fed by electricity. Even gas fed water heaters have an electronic controller/thermostat that needs an electric source to operate.

I would find a supply of heat packs and keep these on hand. If your electricity goes out in the future, you will have these available at that time.

Good Luck!
