Cold Weather Prep: What do you do?

[Bogertophis]

Actually that's a great idea and I've suggested it, with the change that the snake bags then go into plastic bins for several reasons:
- Extra security in case the snake escapes the bag (it happens),
- The bin will prevent your sheets from getting dirty if the snake pees, and
- My dogs sleep in the bed too so if the snakes are in bins they won't get stepped on or smooshed by a German shepherd if they're protected by the bins.

Actually, that's exactly what I did, I just didn't elaborate: each bagged snake was put into a plastic 'Critter Cottage' w/ ventilated tops, & THEN under my down
comforter with me. As you said, protection from roll-overs, protection of MY bedding in case --it happens, & better assurance of air flow. My dogs have their own beds & blankies, so they did their own warmth.

But sadly the power didn't come back on for days, so the next morning I got up after I planned my next move to keep the snakes warm: that's when I
changed them over to ice chests & jars of hot water...I was honestly surprised at how well it worked. The jars I used were large, like what instant iced
tea crystals come in, and I have them saved in a box in my garage, ready in case there's a next time. (pickle jars would work nicely too)
