More Hurricane Irma questions!

[apndi]

Hey everyone, I know that several people have already asked questions about prepping for Hurricane Irma but I had some more questions. I live in NC so fortunately there's no evacuation, flooding, or damage worries. However with the fairly heavy wind and rain we are expected to get, we are expected to be without power for 4 days. The storm for us will last Monday-Tuesday, the weather will be mid 60s to lower 70s during that time, and after that the weather will go back up to the lower 80s. So, bearing these temps in mind:

Will he be fine without his heat and UVB for about 4 days? After the storm passes I should be fine to take him outside for a while for the sunlight but what about the heat? Will he fine in temps from mid 60s to lower 80s?

I shouldn't feed him at all during this time, correct? Not even veggies? How long can he go without food?

Should I just leave him in his cage (which will be dark) and check on him periodically? Or should I walk around with him inside my shirt? (Id rather not do that but I will if he needs it)

Thank you for any info and sorry if it's annoying to have to answer hurricane questions again. :/

Hello,

How old & how much does he weigh?
At those temperatures, he should not be fed anything because he wont be able to digest
properly. You could look into getting some of those hot hands, just to help keep his tank
a little warmer. Sporting good stores, or Walmart have them.
Also, do you have a way to heat water, like a portable gas stove, etc?
You can get water bottles & or jugs & fill them with warm to hot water (but not to melt it)
& put them in his tank to raise the temps some.
If it's sunny afterwards then taking him outside would be ideal!
They are usually fine, for that time, being at a little lower temperatures, too. Just give
water or fluids but no solid foods until he can warm up properly.
Be safe. I hope it doesn't get you all too bad!
