Power cuts - what to do??

[lola]

I'm asking because in the next few weeks we've got to have our electric cut off while our supply is re-routed from overhead cables to underground - hopefully the work will be done first so that the actual cut will be as short as possible while the old supply is removed and the new ones connected.

But what do I do about keeping our 2 lizards warm - baby beardie (currently about 10 weeks old) and adult fat tail gecko?? No I haven't got friendly neighbours I can leave them with

And when we do get unplanned power cuts - as we do sometimes in bad weather - what then??

Erm A dunt now cos iv never been in that situation but maybe put a hot water bottle in your vivs? Dunt lol just a fort!

Will google that heat mat idea - any idea who does them, they sound ideal for this kind of thing

(not so sure about hot water bottle, but then again....!!)

Cant you get a chargeable backup generator, im sure ive seen them around? I know its kind of the extreem but if you have a fair few herps and are serious and you get power cuts a lot it might be a good investment.

Probably - but like you say it's a bit extreme - I've only the 2 lizards at present!

[Vaughan69]

Lol.... well it gives you the excuse to get more just in case you need to use up the extra electricity and make it justifiable

Eeeeeeeeks - don't say things like that to me....... lalalalala I'm not listening....... LOL!!!!!!

(i'm collecting my first exo terra terrarium tomorrow.....empty of course......heehee....)

We've had no power at our house since last thursday...
We've got a diesel generator, costs about £20 a day on fuel, but it runs all our lights, the tv, and most importantly the reptiles and fish tanks.

It's been a total nightmare with us having to have our lawn ripped up today to lay a new cable down tomorrow for the electrician to come and install properly.

Heat In A Click
these are the best thing i could find as long as you've got a gas cooker so you can reuse them.
