This "blizzard"..

[Joshua Jasper]

Ok so my area is expecting a blizzard tomorrow and Saturday (30" of snow) and high winds. My power usually doesn't go out (did not in hurricane Sandy) but I am worried about my new BP. How do you guys keep your snakes warm? Probably some of you have backup generators for large collections but I only have one snake. I bought 2 boxes of 8+ hour hand warmers so far. I was thinking about getting a small tent heater which is sold in mountain gear stores for $10-$30. And buying lots of batteries for it. What else do you guys do to keep a single snake warm in a power outage?

I am in New England and expect at least 24" tomorrow. I would say those are great first steps. Also, keep the door closed as much as possible (trap in heat) and I strongly recommend the sticky warmers (which you purchased). My car has a 12V plug we can run our space heater off, which will be a short term solution. If a long term power outage, I would have a last ditch backup plan, either a friend with a generator or a local shop where you can store him until the heat/power comes back. Where do you live?
