Heating During Winter Power Outage

[Warrlok138]

Hello all

Just curious is there a way to power my Leopards enclosure if the power goes out? It does get cold here during the winter below freezing.

I have a Helix control module and a 50watt Deep Heat Projector.

I have a jump box like for car batteries but it requires something with a USB plug to be able to plug into it.

What are the other options besides electrical? I've heard of using the hand warmers but I've never seen any that stayed warm longer than 2 minutes (these were cheap Dollar General ones)

Thank you!

One important thing to remember is that unless you end up with day after day of no heat/electricity, the geckos will be OK for a limited time (like a day) if the temperature inside the house is at least 60 degrees F. There are heat packs that operate chemically (you shake them and they heat up) that are good for 20 or 40 hours. When geckos are shipped in cold weather these are used. If you can identify any kind of battery powered heat source, even if it's primarily a light source, you could use that.
