Power Outage

That is nothing I even thought about. Hopefully someone here has some pointers.

I actually thought of stocking up on hand warmers and using them which I think would work in a pinch on a very short term basis ofcourse but defintly need to know what to do.

Those heat packs are probably the best choice unless you want to get a generator. You could try placing his tank near a fireplace or something.

Ya I thought about putting him near the fireplace. It sucks that fire would produce a dry heat though. Woutld have to keep his water near too so it would be warm for misting.

In the winter snow if I lose power I open the frog room door, turn on the cooker hot plates (they're gas) and light them with a lighter or match, set 'em all on high. It is usually sufficient to keep things in the 60s for the day. If things are bad for longer than that I have a portable propane heater (Heater Buddy) that I can run in the frog room if necessary.

When I got my Pac it was pretty cold out but I found aiming a small portable heater towards the tank kept a steady temperature, also insulating the tank with towels might help?
