Reptiles vs. Blackouts...?

[bamf64]

I want to know what YOU would do if you had a quantity of reptiles and had a blackout with NO POWER. I just had one and it reminded me what i would do if it was for a long period of time...

Nothing, or hook up a generator.
If I open the tubs they will lose some of the heat.

If their heat ran dangerously low then, hygiene issues aside, I'd probably put them in cloth bags (same size ones go together,) line my bed with a plastic covering, and stick them all with me under a few layers of blankets.

Heat up some hot water bottles (using gas heaters/fireplace) and we'll all have a giant reptile slumber party.

I'd recruit family members into this too.

But this would only be a few hours/one day thing if it was in the winter. I'd have to figure out some other way if it lasted for longer than a day.

If it starts to get really cold you can put some hot water bottles (just plastic bottles filled with hot tap water) in the cages and it'll warm up the cage/tubs.

Hot hands and or the disposable heating pads, they last between 8-12 hours. I have never been in that situation but things happen and I keep some around just in case.

If you have no power and generator, how do you heat up the water? If you have a generator you can warm up the room or the snakes.

24 hr heat packs are your friends!

The water inside a water heater will stay warm for hours.

Thats great, but who is concerned for only a few hours? The temps in the tub and room shouldnt drop to fast in a few hours unless you keep going in and out.

You learn fast grasshoppa, I was replying to this specific part of your post.
