*** Winter Storm Warning *** ...... How do you protect your snake room ??

[JLC]

I don't have nearly as large a collection as you so when there was a winter storm and we were pretty sure we would get a blackout I read somewhere that putting your snake in a separate box and putting those hand warmer packets like you'd use when you ski in with it it'll keep the temp fine. The power never went out so I never had to try that and not even 100% sure that that's an ok thing to try so I'd be interested in what other people do

NOT "hand warmers"!! They get way too hot and they only stay hot for a short period of time...neither of which is any good for the snakes.

You should go to ShipYourReptiles or any other shipping supplier and order real Heat Packs. They come in different measurements and you want 40 Hour Heat Packs, minimum. They also come in 60 hour and 72 hour versions. Any of those will work. They should be ordered in advance to have on hand when an emergency hits. You can't find them at your local pet store or Wal Mart.
