Hi

Need help please. My mother-in-law's main power cable has gone, she has got over 35 various snakes, corns, cali kings, garter, pythons, that rely on heat pads/lamps. How long can they go without the heat? What can be used to heat them until the power can be restored? The power people have given her no time frame as to when it will be repaired.

Any help & advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Sally

i used one of those instant heat things when we moved (it was a 3 hour drive, and then a few more hours before we got the tank set up (you snap the thing and it warms up) I found it in a camping store or something similar it didnt get the rub up to 30* but it lasted a few hours.

tho it'll probably be expensive to get 35 of them.

maybe you could hire a generator?

Unless they have recently eaten I wouldn't worry. Unless its for 3 or 4 days, then leave them be.
