They've been warning about possible outages this summer, pretty much in all areas, & with the high temperatures we've been having, it's scary. I think it's easier to keep snakes warm enough when it's cold than to protect them from sustained high temperatures, but either way, we all need to plan. It's stressful for sure.
Good question, smakemom. It's generally impractical to keep your snake in their normal enclosure- thick styrofoam boxes or "ice chests" are essential.And snakes don't seem to mind it (being bagged & contained) as much as you might think. At least mine didn't. And most of my snakes are more active by nature than BPs are. When I went thru the 2009 ice storm with my snakes, the one that objected the most was my large BCI boa- I never expected that, but even she settled down & relaxed too.
