I know it's getting to be summer now, so this topic is probably a little out dated-- but I was just wondering what everyone would do with their reptiles if the power went out.
The reason i ask is because my power was out for two weeks this winter due to an ice storm, and I was not at all prepared.
At the time I just had two anoles.
The temperature was 35*F in my house for two weeks.
At first I tried keeping them warm with "hot hands" hand warmers, but they weren't getting close enough to the warmers to stay warm.
Then All the stores sold out of them. (along with all the batteries, gas, candles, etc.)
Then I tried filling up Bags of hot water to put in their cages.
Then All my pipes exploded---
so i was left with nothing to keep them warm.
My bigger, stronger anole survived.
But my poor little guy got an eye infection and died a few days after the power came back on. (antibiotics and all)
I'm going to be prepared this winter!
I was thinking about getting a generator, but those can be dangerous.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone else here has an "emergency" plan for such an event.
