[QUOTE="Scoolman, post: 62568, member: 41"] [B]Ok, this is the part where I begin a rage filled fiery tantrum, filled with a string of expletives!!!! I officialy hate "vacations", or long stays away from home! Came home today, after a week away, to find the tropical T room at 50°F. Why? Because, two days after we left a blizzard hit the entire eastern half of the sate, with a major cell right over us. All roads were closed. So, even if I tried to make 4 hour drive home, I would not have got there. At some point during the week there was a brief power outage, no big deal really, except the heater in the room did not reset, thus did not turn on. Fortunately the Ts were alright (Precious is in this room). My millipedes, however, are not! I reset the heat, added hot water to the drainage layer under the substrate, and covered the tank. 5 of the pedes became active after a short time. The largest female is moving, but still very slowly. The smallest, and youngest, is still curled and only moves legs occasionally; I am worried about this one. Only time will tell if I caught them with enough time to reverse their condition. [/B] [/QUOTE]
