If i've missed anyone its because i dont know, love or respect you yet!!!!!

will it harm her to be left that long with no heating, iv just picked her up and she is quite cold to touch. i was considering putting a hot water bottle in her viv to boost her temp. is this a bad idea??

how warm is your house? if you have a radiator near by i would put her viv next to it.
she wont come to any harm by being cooler than normal for 24 hours as they do have sudden temperature changes in the wild.

she will be fine while the weather is like this - if you want to you could put a HWB in the viv - but make sure it is not too hot - but as I said she should be fine without

Right im gona stick the heating on and put her by the rad and while that warms up ill put a cool HWB in there. Thanks for your help, i was really panicing

OK - but you dont really need to - keep an eye on the temps to make sure they dont get too hot - that is a bigger risk than room temp

so what would you?? just leave her until i can get to the reptile place tomorrow??

Forget the HWB, it will probably be too hot and do more harm than good. A couple of days without heat (especially this time of year) will do no harm. If it does get particularly cold then the worse that could happen is a regurge if she's recently fed.

I agree with this post, corn snakes are pretty hardy and don't require really hot temps, so in this weather it shouldn't be any problem, even for a few days.

One of my corns is often cold to touch, even though her viv is heated.
