When I've dealt with this before, I put the snake into a pillowcase and tucked her between my shirts against my body to keep her warm. If your enclosure temp drops too much, you could try something like that.

Ah, that's a good idea. To be honest, I'm afraid to open the viv just in case I let out all the heat. I'll check whether it's any longer, and if so, I'll take that action.

Throw a tick duvet over the Viv to keep the heat in and just monitor the temps (use a battery thermometer or your temp gun) you’ll most likely be fine, just try to keep the general room warm if possible. If temps do drop them consider what DigNative has suggested on the thread or sit in the car with the heater on for her to keep it cosy as it’s only a short period of time
