3 snakes, 1 tub...what's the best way to handle this?

[ProjectMKUltra5]

Okay so last night we had a crazy windstorm that knocked the power out pretty much everywhere around us. It's normal this time of year to lose power for 3 or 4 hours max but last night was hella bad. We had no heat whatsoever and it just kept getting colder and colder as the night went on. I tried filling up water bottles with hot water to give them something warm to climb on (it helped a little but they lost the heat fast) but the temp just kept dropping, even into the 50s at its worst. At that point I put them in pillow cases and huddled them around my belly while I layed down all night (at 2 or 3 in the morning). I had them tucked around me for probably 10 hours but they were without heat (other then the water bottles) for probably another 10 hours before that.

Long story short I'm now in a hotel with all 3 of my snakes and they're in a single tub that has a heat pad and thermostat and nothing else. They're still in the pillow cases because they're all in the same tub but I'm just wondering what the best way to attack this is? They're getting more active (good sign?) And I'm not entirely sure how long I should keep them in the pillow cases.

At this point I'm just glad they're back on a safe heat source and they appear fine but I was hoping for some suggestions.

I have no experience myself, So for what it's worth...how about taking them out of the pillowcases for exercise and water one at a time once or twice a day? BPs normally hide a lot, so the strange surroundings are probably more of an issue than the actual confinement.

Snakes get shipped in bags for 24 hours no problem so just leave them in the pillowcases. Don't see any harm as long as they have air. 😉

It sounds like you'll be okay, leave them in the pillow cases while in the tub, if longer than 24 hours just get them out individually to offer water and a stretch. Good luck with your power outage!

Could you just get 3 small tubs and share the heat pad?

Hopefully power has been restored for a while and you're back home, how did everything work out?
