Moving

[Monkeys563]

I'm moving and my reptiles will be without pretty much everything for couple days, they are staying with friends of mine but my tortoise will not be in anything that I can put a heat lamp on, my dragon can have one lamp, and my geckos are just going to have to be in a drawer like system without heat.
Will they all be ok? It's unlikely any of them will eat through the stress anyway. Should I give the dragon uvb or heat? None of them get to stay in their enclosures because none of my friends have space for such big things. I'm so worried about my babies I don't want to upset any of too much.

How old are your kids? A couple of days without UVB won't hurt your dragon. They all should have adequate heat. You can get heat packs at sporting good stores – wrap them in a towel so the critters don't burn themselves. A couple of days without food will probably be okay – depending on their age. Can't help you with the tortoise not my area of expertise. Yet. Try to give them something they know to be with them that will provide some comfort. Hides are good. Don't forget to give them some time to readjust once you get moved into your new place. They won't know that everything is okay. Don't stress just go back to the routine. I'm sure you will all be fine

My youngest are 2 Leo's that are 4 months old, I also have 2 year old and a 1 year old Leo. The dragon is 11 months. I like the heat pack idea, do they stay warm awhile or do they need reheated every couple hours?

There are different types of heat packs. Most last 4 to 6 hours. Some longer some shorter. I would be most concerned about your baby Leos. If you KN – get them in their temporary home for a few days before you move. I will get them used to anew space. Forget to wrap the heat packs

Take a look at these heat packs used for shipping reptiles. They last much longer than hand warming packs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YEFISA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Awesome. Have to get me some. Monkey might be able to use them depends on when hes movin and if he can order them in time

 

[Monkeys563]

That is perfect not even a bad price either. I will have to order some, I have a month to prepare for this move so I have plenty of time. Thank you!

Awesome! Be sure to test them. I ordered some once that didn't work at all - I do hope these work cuz I'm going to order some!!
