Planned Power/Heat Outage: How I'm Preparing to Keep my Tarantulas Warm

[Charliemum]

My husband texted to say the heat's back on and the house barely lost any heat in the 4 hours it was off for. I just got home and checked on everyone, and everyone is just dandy. The cooler bags weren’t even necessary, but I’m still glad to have played it safe.

There was a communication mishap about this outage, and half the community thought they weren’t going to be affected, so there were a bunch of us that had a bit of a scramble. Hopefully, this thread comes in handy for another keeper at some point!

Glad everyone is good n safe
At least you know now you have backups just incase .

The manufacturer of the ones I use is Uniheat, so if you search for "uniheat heat packs" you'll find lots of places that sell them - reptile & aquarium supply stores, animal shipping companies, even the jungle conglomerate sells them.

Thank you very much,
I'll worry less if I I'm prepared.

Fortunately our power didn't go out, but it did get really cold! I used a tiny space heater to keep my room cozy. Additionally had some rice socks ready to go incase power did go out, though that was more of a temporary solution for some extra warmth until my uncle could get his generator running. Im glad everyone seems to be safe!
