Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 33458" data-attributes="member: 1152"><p>After getting deep into the tarantula hobby, I started to worry quite a bit about what would happen if we had a power outage during the winter. We live in New England, and winters can be pretty bad. A power outage at the wrong time could leave me with a room full of dead Ts. In the past, we used a portable kerosene heater, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving it burning over night. After much deliberation (and some saving), we bought a portable generator and hired an electrician to wire a hookup to the house. Truth be told, I think that my wife was thinking about more than the Ts when we decided to go this route, but at least I know that I have a backup plan should we lose power in the winter.</p></blockquote><p></p>
