Well Washington had a huge winter storm that wound up knocking out my power. It's happened before no big deal really. Except when the new generator breaks and you have to take it back, and in the 2 hours you're gone the s*** hits the fan. I live out in the woods basically, but I've never had a problem reaching my place in my car. However, others not so much. A dump truck wound up getting stuck across the road so I couldn't get by. By the time they were moved 6 hours later, and I was able to get to my place the damage was done. My house was at 50 when I left, frogroom was being kept at 60 (with the generators help). When I got in the house was at 43 and frogroom was at 50...except the vivs on the floor of the racks which were 46. Everything survived except for the frogs in 2 tanks. And unfortunately, it was my 1.1 uakarii and 1.1 reticulata. So the hobby lost 2 breeding pairs of some rarer Ranitomeya
If only I had thought ahead and moved them higher! Or if we hadn't used all the propane tanks keeping warm with the camp heater! Ahhhhhh!!!
Now, the reason it turned ok.....found eggs in both tanks that are developing. I also found 2 new Cristobal froglets, as well as the female transporting, my fantastica and summersi (first time) both transporting, first eggs in the Chazuta tank, more eggs from one of my Saripiqui pairs, and I got accepted into my first internship. All in all a pretty s***** week because of me not thinking ahead, home depots crappy products, and the dump truck drivers inability to drive in snow.
Just needed to vent a bit.
