Ive been lucky so far since keeping snakes i havent had any power issues , however we got a note through the door yesterday saying our power supplier was going to be doing some work meaning our power supply may be interrupted between 8am and 4pm and they will try and keep this disrupption to a minimum .

Any tips on how i can keep the snakes warm while this happens ? i will loose the boiler so will have no heating . maybe i will have to get in the vivs and keep them all warm lol!

any advice much appreciated :)

wrapped up they should be fine if they haven't been fed recently. the main issue would be them not being able to digest.

I'm sure they'll be fine if you cover them up and maybe a hot water bottle
