[QUOTE=Deborah;1947610]Depends on how many animals you have

A larger collection, generator and/or http://www.walmart.com/ip/14710768?a...l5=pla&veh=sem

I have both the generator is mainly to allow us to have our fridge going and lights and my incubator and the buddy heater is to allow the snake room to remain at an ambient temp of 78 degrees.

I second the Buddy Heater! If you have the snakes in the small room, I've found that a buddy will heat it up to about 84 degrees; warmer if it's a very small room like a bathroom.

In 2007, we lost power for a full week in late fall and couldn't get a large generator. When the propane ran out after about two days, we moved the snakes into the sitting room with the woodstove. After hanging a few sheets to trap the heat, the critters made it through just fine.
