Im down in st ives about 15 miles from lands end, and were taking a bit of a kicking from a little storm the lights are flickering, and im worried the power may go out, I was thinking if it dose that i could put bottles of warm/hotish water in the vivs is this a good idea? antone got any other ideas?

One assumes you mean hot water bottles? Longs as not too hot should be ok, I know you can get heat pads-like hand warmer things fishermen use.

well was thinking pop bottles with towels round them for emergancy as only got a couple of hot water bottles, or would that be dangerous?

my power has been off 4 times in the last month and i have been putting hotwater bottles wrapped in towels in the 4 vivs with our royals. the power was off for 15 hours at atime and there is no real ill effects except that the drop in temps has kicked my two males into fasting. they havent eaten fpor a month but they were due for it anyway. good luck with it, hope you dont get hit too bad

I would wrap in towels and then pillow case so they can't get into them....other than that they should be fine...its what i use when transporting reps...

unless its really cold or the powers off for a long time I wouldnt worry too much, id be worried that the snakes or whatever animals got under the towel and in direct contact with the hot water bottle
