Yes, the outage occurred in the apartment when neither the snake or I were here. It was a blown fuze obviously, but I could not for the life of me find the box to fix it. My landlord called me back and told me it was in the closet in the most inconvenient inconspicuous place imaginable. Because the closet light was out AND my flashlight battery died 30 seconds after I turned it on (it has been one of THOSE days) I had to grope around in the dark with my cell phone light. Found it, got the lights back, and the snake set up in her normal spot in the living room. She had no problem eating, even with her big day: car ride, and two different set ups. She's pretty laid back, I though for sure she would be completely stressed and over it by now, but she took her dinner and went to bed, happy as could be.
