Emergency considerations with herps

Well, now that my neighborhood street is on fire and under mandatory evacuation, it seems like a good time to remind people that you should always have at least one carrier per pet- including your exotics- and these carriers should always be easy to grab quickly in an emergency, not stashed away hidden under a thousand pounds of junk in the attic or something. Fortunately, I was ready and I have everything my animals need close at hand.

Many herps can go for a while without food, especially amphibians and larger reptiles. No, it's not ideal and should be avoided under normal circumstances, but many species evolved to deal with going long periods without a meal. So food is not necessarily as urgent to for them as it would be for a mammal or bird (though you should find out what's necessary for your specific species).

So, in an emergency, the most important things would be making sure you have secure transportation for them that they can't escape from, which can hold adequate humidity and heat for their species, and which they can breathe in. Since it's mid-spring here right now, I don't presently need to worry about maintaining enough heat for them, but that should also be at the top of one's mind when considering evacuating with exotic pets. It's worth keeping extra vivarium-building and/or shipping supplies around so that you can quickly put together a humidity-stable, easy-to-transport container.

For the dart frogs and small geckos, I got empty/still-unused cups that I would usually use for fruit fly cultures and stuffed the bottom of those with coconut coir and dried moss, then soaked that in distilled water before putting the lid on. The lid for these cups have tiny holes that allow breathing, but which prevents the interior from drying out too quickly. For Sunny, it's a similar setup, but in a medium-sized 'kritter keeper' instead of a fruit fly cup. Since I live in a very arid climate, I was concerned that wet paper towels wouldn't be enough to maintain humidity.

If I didn't also have to worry about lugging around my mammal pets (one of which is an extremely irritable cat that weighs roughly 20 pounds) and my own essentials, I would be more concerned with bringing their food with me, too. Instead, I fed my darts and geckos a particularly hearty meal while waiting for news updates- just in case they won't get another meal for a few days. Since this is just a local fire and not the collapse of civilization or something, I can be reasonably confident that I can buy food for them later if I end up unable to return to my home. Otherwise, I'd be starting a new fruit fly culture right now and bringing that with me, too. Packages of Pangea/other powdered gecko food is easy to stick in one's pocket if you can.

Since I have a stupid-anxious personality, I'm always prepared for disaster anyway- but I know a lot of people think it'll never happen to them. Since climate change is only going to get worse at this point, you should realize it CAN happen to you (and to be honest, if you live in the southwest, either coast, or south in the US... there's actually a pretty decent chance of it happening to you at some point). If you haven't thought yet about what you'd do with your pets in an emergency, take some time to prepare right now. Evacuating with dogs and/or cats is one thing, but there's a lot more to consider with herps and other uncommon pets. If you're prepared ahead of time, you can save yourself and them, too!

#and to be clear: no you should Not release them into the wild in such a situation #theyre unlikely to survive but if they did then it could be an ecological disaster. also it's illegal to do that. so don't #info tag #gecko tag #azureus tag

Brain soup can’t think of anything to ask just tell me about anything on your mind rn or that you want to say

brain soup is so real it happens to everybody. im gonna tell you abt the new precure season's henshin toy bc what the hell is happening with it.

its a pact, right. its the wonderful pact. thats normal, we've had a lot of pacts before. what weirds me out is like... i cant see anything in the toy preview images that would like, determine which cure's phrase is triggered? the pact has two buttons, one pink and one purple, and a spinning part - the pink and purple buttons, to me, very clearly relate to cure wonderful and cure friendy. the issue is that theres two more cures this season!!! what about them!!! does it have to do with how the spinny part is operated?? the order the buttons are pressed??? i dont know! we just dont know!

ive seen a single image of a second pact with a white cover instead of a pink and maybe theyre releasing two pacts? one for wonderful and friendy and one for nyammy and lilian? i dont know! i wouldnt like it if they did bc if its essentially the same toy but theyre releasing it twice i feel like thats stupid and cash-grabby! the best idea is that maybe the cover is like, removable and the white cover along with maybe something else for the pact will be released separatedly. i dont know! we dont fucking know bc this show isnt out yet! it will be soon though and i'll find out.
