The problem with the incubator is that digital thermostats may not "like" generator power as it can be dirty, so make sure you have a surge protector between the generator and the thermostat, and check it constantly.

Personally we have a backup generator that powers the wood stove blower so the house stays warm, and we moved a cord of firewood into the garage last night so we won't have to dig it out of the snow - one forecast has us getting 45 inches of the stuff! At least I won't have to worry about keeping the refrigerator and freezers running, Mother Nature is taking care of that.
You have brought up something that I was overlooking or had not thought of at least .... I know that the snakes can do ok for a little while with ambient temps down to 75 ..... But as I was reading your post it hit me .... What about gravid females? How will that temperature change effect the eggs that a female is still carrying and not laid yet?
