Blizzard approaching, what to do if power goes out?

[Bogertophis]

Thankfully I only have the one and am already willing to utilize my body to keep him warm if push comes to shove. If it lasts a while though I'd obviously need to find a more secure solution as I can't exactly sleep with him in my clothing.

Tell me about it. When I lost power that time, it was at night, & naively thinking that the power would be on in a couple hours (my first ice storm!) I first put all 15 snakes into ventilated plastic containers & put them under my down comforter with me. I had a large BCI at the time, she was in a pillow case on top of me...and she kept periscoping trying to figure out what was going on. Needless to say I didn't sleep...just waited for daylight to figure out "what next?" Trust me, ice chests with jars of hot water is way better, lol.
