To all those in the path of the hurricane...

We were only out for about 2 days, but it sucked! The temperature climbed to 91F inside..not a problem for my snakes, but my poor geckos! Everyone made it, with the exception of some tadpoles I was taking care of..and the only damage was that one of our huge pipes was unearthed and moved from our driveway/drainage ditch.

We live in an apartment complex, and the power went out for about a day and a half/two days here. We have no back-up generators or anything. I was running around at 2am trying to think of some way to keep my snakes warm, and our roommate came up with a pretty ingenious solution: space blankets! They trapped in the ambient heat from the UTH's and heat lamps, so the tanks stayed at about 80. It wasn't a perfect solution, but it kept them warm long enough for the power to come back on! :D

Luckily it was summer, so it wasn't freezing. My next purchase priority is to buy one of those generators, I don't want to lose power in the winter and have no way to heat my babies!
