With winter storm “Bruce” moving through the midwest I was wondering what one would do if power completely went out in the house for their inverts?
I’ve been trying to think about an emergency plan for what I would would do with all my tarantulas and scorpions in case I got “snowed in,” with electricity (including heating) completely going out. I have portable heaters that can easily heat a whole room in case heating in my house went out, but what about power all together?
Most of my collection (and I have *a lot* of inverts) are small spiderlings to juveniles in deli cups to small kritter keep enclosures. And honestly I don’t know what to do if that were to happen.
Is it possible to find something to put the slings in to conserve heat (sort of how sellers shipping out inverts put heat packs/hand warmers with paper, etc. in the box so spiderlings will stay warm)? What about the adults?
I would love to hear ideas, because with winter here now I can’t be the only one with this on mind.
