Default Disasters

Just been on the american version of this forum and found an interesting thread entitled 'action plan in case of a natural disaster' and thought i'd ask the same question here (just to kill the boredom whilst i'm waiting for new spid to arrive of course) - So what plans have you in place for your Ts should a disaster occur? Which of your numerous spids would you take with you as you jump out of your window to safety???

I live in a bungalow so I'd just open the tanks and wedge the cat flap open

I'd shove Bob and Wedge in my pockets, unplug Fluffy and get her in a biiiiig bag and then with my other hand take TumTum (My Rat) out. I'd open the big budgie cage's doors so they'd be safe and my mum would probably take a girl rat in each pocket, the little tiny hamsters in another pocket and the degu and the other boy rat in her hands.

I know they're not all T's but that's what I'd do with all of my pets!

I have to say I've often considered what i'd do with my lot should a serious fire break out and I have to say i'd get the cat out first

for me.
open door for dog, but put on lead.
cats, same as above minus the lead.
snakes, in tubs(seperate) and slide out of door.
T's, large tub, fit all tubs in and make a run for it.

If it was a fire, I'd grab a big bag, dump all the adult beetle tubs in it, quickly dump Leos in the bottom and pick up the glass viv full of beetle larvae, putting the Blue Tongue in it. Then I'd be lucky that my fingers wouldn't be mauled off by the Tokay, and that I wouldn't trip up and send grubs and soil into the air, never mind if I wasn't burnt to a crisp by that time.

I've only got a B. Vagans female (T-wise), so she'd go in the viv.
Oh, and I'd have to be quick, or else the Leos would mess up my breeding plans while they were in the bag.
