Here in New England, the weather can be unpredictable. Last year we had a bad storm that left power out all over the area and conditions were unsafe. For over 24 hours we were without power in February.We humans managed with blankets and coats, etcbut unfortunately a few of our geckos died. despite hours of trying and all sorts of effort to prevent it, it was out of our control.I bought this heater immediately after. The small propane tanks it needs I got wal mart (think it was 2 for $12) and I got a couple tiny desk fans that take batteries. They were inexpensive and now we have everything needed for our animals (and ourselves) if the power goes out for any reason. 100 reccomend for reptile owners!It's one of those things you think is it a waste of money, how much will I really need it, but I promise if and when you do need it you'll be so glad you did!
