    Hurricane Season and Power Outage?
    Okay so I live in Florida and the tropical storm Debby has me thinking what would I do for heat during a power outage. Ideas? Also if it requires me to wrap her in clothing or using my body heat, how would I know that that's the temperature she wants to be at? She can choose between her hot and cold side in her tank, how do I know which side of the spectrum she wants to be at?

    Generators and heat packs are usually the general comments that i see. In the summertime the Flordia ambient temp would prolly be ok. Not sure how cold it gets in the winter, but look around online for stuff like that. Survival epuipment and things.

    Okay. But I was hoping for more common household items or even something that isn't expensive and found pretty easily.

    Unfortunately hurricanes can drop the temp 10 or 20 (or more) degrees from usual summertime temp.

    Re: Hurricane Season and Power Outage?
    In case of emergency which is a temporary situation the only thing I am worried about is to provide temps that do not fall below 75 degrees, providing a hot spot is not something I would worry about, I would only worry about ambient temps.

    Depending on the situation for example a few snakes having a few heat pack during power outage is a good idea.

    For larger collection is the ambient temps is not adequate having a buddy heater and/or a generator is an investment I would highly recommend.
