Oddly enough I just went through the problem of loosing power for 4 days. Although my issue was not the cold it was the heat and that is far more dangerous then the cold to corns. When I built my new house 2 years ago my wife only request id that I have a snake room that was not part of the main house. She wanted it on a different air system and not in the house itself. At first this sounded expensive but it turned out not to be, we built a three car garage and had the single third car built into the snake room. We wired it, insulated it, added a sink and a separate a/c unit and bam snake room that met her requirements.
When hurricane charley kicked out buts two weeks ago, we were with out power and a generator was the best investment I made. For about $600.00 I had power to all of my refrigerators, and freezers, a small a/c unit, TV, Lamps and all kinds of other things people just take for granted. I was living large compared to most. I would recommend that you invest in a generator if your power goes out often form winter storms. Not only will you be able to keep your snakes warm but you too! (just don’t run it inside the house, back porch is the best place to run one.
Good luck
