Can someone help me?

I went on a trip down south for a week and the day we left, (in the nothwest) we had a windstorm and our power has been out since friday. I've been worried about my 3 yr old corn snake. She has hasn't had heat since friday... what should I do? iv taken her out and put her by a fire for a bit to warm her up, i hacvn't feed her yet, and havn't got around to getting hot-hands due to the power outages EVERYWHERE... how long can she go without heat? and if it won't be utnil WEDNESDAY what should I do?

THANKS..

My only concern would be if you fed her just before you left. If she has food in her and is cold, that could be bad. If she is on a pretty empty stomach, then as long as she is not freezing she should be fine. Do you have a basement? Depending on how cold it got outside, you may find that it is a little warmer down there. Just a thought. Duffy

I would cover the cage with a blanket or towel to help keep the chill out
