Befriend someone familiar with snakes nearby and perhaps have them check in while you are gone. You can also have the power company text you of any power outages at your residence and then call the backup person. Just some ideas for those living in cooler climates and counting on electric to stay on to keep our reptiles warm.
^^^^^ Actually this is a pretty common sense solution to the problem, hand warmers are not going to cut it if you have a lot of animals but a backup kerosene heater and human intervention is probably the best way to go. Of course being a magician you could always teleport them to Key Largo for a week .
