How To Strap Your Water Heater

1. Water: Three-seven days worth for soaking and misting. Certain species (chameleons) only drink water if it is misted/dripped on leaves. Your veterinarian may be able to provide an IV bag and tubing to construct a drip system.
2. Food: Certain species of reptiles can eat prepared diets. Other species rely on fresh/frozen prey items. It may not be possible to store food for your reptile, especially if you're without electricity.
3. Small aquarium/kennel for transport.
4. Newspaper for cage liner. Paper towels, garbage bags & disinfectant (see bird section).
5. Pillowcase for transporting snakes.
6. Cardboard boxes for hide boxes in aquarium.
7. Styrofoam cooler to keep pets cool.
8. Spare full spectrum lights & heat lamps. Keep in mind that electricity may be off.
9. Empty plastic jugs: Can serve as a heat source if the power is off (providing you have access to heated water).
10. Pictures/descriptions of your reptiles. Include handling instructions--some disaster workers may not be familiar with handling reptiles.
