This just happened to me this morning. I woke up to find the electricity
off and the temp around 60 degrees. Luckily my mom lives down the road and
has a fireplace. So I packed up the kid and the two geckos and turned up
on her doorstep. My house got down in the 40s before the electricity
finally came back on. If I didn't have my mom's fireplace I would end up
buying a kerosene heater. They put out enough heat to keep a small room
very warm. That way I could turn it on in the bathroom and put the gex in
there. If you end up doing this, be sure to crack a window so they don't
die from any fumes the kerosene heater may produce. I'm always worried
about carbon monoxide and stuff.
