relief....

[paulnj]

A few of you know that my incubators went down yesterday because my power company refuses to fix the underground trunk line in front of my condo correctly for the last 5 years. They have dug it up 12 times I remember withing a 100 foot span... GGRRRRR.

Well without getting into a novel, the female cookers were down for 5-6 hours and the male cooker was down for roughly 10 hours(blew my breaker in that zone)

found a male today and this female that made me smile Just a tremper het eclipse, but I think she's a cutey.

She is a cutie. Glad to hear that it looks like things are going to be just fine after that power outage. :main_thumbsup:

oh wow paul! I'm glad to hear that you and the geckos are doing alright, congrats on hatchling this beautiful little girl!

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

WHEW!!!

 

[paulnj]

Thanks!!!! I am at ease alittle more right now, but a few more weeks will tell the tale. I am going to have to figure something out, because my heart can't take that again any time soon. A few less hatchlings would be a blessing in disguise though....

less stress is always best..glad to here every thing is working out!

 

[yellermelon]

stupid power company! Paul if you need Ill come up to Jersey and get all redneck on um....and Ill bring Toby with me

 

[paulnj]

Chris, I don't stone the messenger, but they all know how I feel about the bandaid approach they are told to use.

 

[goReptiles]

Wow.. At least it seems that so far things were affected too much... My mom has told me to invest in a few generators for power outages, so that I can keep the racks and incubators plugged in. We have 1 or 2 small ones, but they won't give in enough long-lasting power if they're not charged or whatever. Plus they use them for fans when the power goes out.

 

[eyelids]

Sweet hatchling! I hope things work out... Get a diesel generator... Chris could snag one from a coal mine in WV on his way up...

 

[DAWNoftheLEO]

NIce bro! That really sucks man. Hope it stays up!!!

 

[preacherman]

I feel your pain, Paul. A few years ago we had the power go out for 6 1/2 hours with full incubators in the middle of January. We had no issues with any of the eggs. Hope you have the same luck.

 

[lytlesnake]

Glad to hear it didn't cause a major problem. You could also try a power conditioner that has battery backup. Best Power makes some good ones, but they're not cheap.

 

[paulnj]

Thanks for the laugh mike and chris and that awesome news Jason H.

I was thinking about battery backup used for computers for my cookers, but my racks are the tough issue to deal with in a condo.

Glad things went well. I'm sure everyone else will be. Living in Fl one gets used to power outages that are frequent during hurricane season. You could always try heat packs next time to help keep the bators warm.

 

[paulnj]

when I found my cookers in the 70's I instantly put some heatpacks in vented delis in them.

 

[fallen_angel]

She is gorgeous :smitten:

 

[Halley]

glad to hear everything is okay Paul, can't wait to see more of your hatchlings

 

[Greyscale_Geckos]

Glad everything turned out okay! That's a cute girlie too.

 

[GeckoJunkie]

Hate to hear all the power company woes Paulie. But like Chris said we could make a trip up there for ya. HA may take even longer next time it goes out though if we did. Glad to hear all is looking up now though!!
