No!!!!

Edison changed the meter in my house this past Friday and tripped some outlets in my garage, where I have my bin of crickets and two scorpions. Didn't noticed the problem until Monday. I lost most of my crickets and one of my scorpions. So dissapointed because on Sunday I noticed the crickets walking a little slow...

Sucks. I scored this great drop in freezer in the alley but I am afraid to use it in case it overloads my circuits...

It's been in the low 30's for the past week. If the freezer trips, most likely affect just that outlet.

I lost pretty much all my last shipment of crickets to the last frost... I'm currently buying "as needed" but financially, that's a money suck...

So, I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my cricket bin warm without bringing into my house. That is the "back up plan"...if I can't figure out a way to keep them out in the shed, they'll come in at night (it's almost never under 40 degrees during the day here).

We're all highly allergic and chameleon poop is a definite trigger. Life has been better with them outside, but then....they started dying...

I'd love any ideas on this.

I would buy a 100 ft heavy weight extension cord at lowes or home depot. Buy a large under tank heater, stick it to your cricket been and they should be fine.

This is my setup pretty much...and what sucks is I just had the crickets delivered last week.

With the cost of delivery, that is the sort of thing that makes me pull my hair out. Well I would pull someone else hair, it would hurt to pull mine.

Thank you! I'll talk that out with my husband...the cord running from the outlet might be a violation of the HOA rules...

If you have no other option other than keeping them in your house maybe pic up a hepa air scrubber for your house and put a carbon filter on it. Should help with the Cham poop problem and other VOC's.

Good idea, thanks! I'll put it into the mix.
