[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2037327, member: 76248"] It's probably a stressful situation but since the heat is steady, it's probably not going to be a huge problem in the long run as long as the power comes back on within the next day or two. It's tougher with a young dragon like this, but I'd imagine they will naturally slow their systems down a bit and probably nap more often. As mentioned, using the reptile shipping heat packs (usually 48hr runtime) works really well and I keep them on hand for emergencies and travel. It may not be easy to get them on short notice unless you have a reptile supply store in the area though. The hand warmer packets can work but they burn hotter so you'd want to put them under a towel to prevent burns or overheating. I would probably keep everything the same tankwise to minimize stress and just try to ride it out this time. Since the temps are stable, I think moving between enclosures might be more stressful than helpful. Another nice thing to have is a UPS (battery backup) like what is used for computer equipment. These vary in price depending on the runtime and load they need to support. A basic model designed to support a single desktop computer could be useful in future outages. These tend to work better for short outages though since the runtime is typically just a few hours. Having one of these would at least let you run the UVB or run the basking light intermittently for a while. [/QUOTE]
