a couple years ago we were having the big ice storm here in new york, and the power was out for days. I just had my bearded dragon then, so once my room hit 60, I packed him up in a rubbermaid container and set him near the fireplace (I tyed the cantainer to a couple of chairs so the cat wouldn't accidently knock it over or something). By the last morning of the 3 or 4 (?) days I spent without power, heat, anything, even the fireplace (actually a woodburning stove) wouldn't keep things warm enough, and my bearie's temperature reached just about 55 degrees. Then, luckily, the power came back on, and he was able to get back under the heat lamps. That was the scariest thing about the whole ordeal, worrying about what would happen if Sydney got too cold. I also had to go down in the basement every twenty minutes to pump water from the sump pump to the drain so the basement didn't flood, which would ruin my music equipment that's worth thousands of dollars. I wasn't too worried about that though, because we have insurance for that. Losing my lizard would have been terrible.
