Hi everyone:
I am a science teacher in upstate New York with 7 reptiles in my secondary classroom lab (a lab space directly connected to my classroom). It is windowless and is much warmer (by 5 to 10 degrees) than the front classroom space. In the past, I kept a bearded dragon my front classroom space - but he died because the neighborhood had a power outage, so I have been keeping the reptiles in the back lab since.
After my beard dragon death incident, I have been adamant about keeping them warm in the back space, monitoring temperature and humidity year round. Now that winter is fast approaching, I am concerned again about another power outage.
What are some solutions for my reptiles just in case there is an outage? I live 20 minutes away from the school, and usually, the outage occurs during a snow storm, so I'm pretty much stuck at home. I need some type of an AFFORDABLE backup generator that will turn on when the main power shuts off - does this even exist? What are some alternatives?
Need your expertise!
Annie
