Power Outage Action Sheet
One page, taped to the rack. Decision thresholds, cold and hot protocols, hard rules, evacuation criteria. The reference you reach for in the dark, not the playbook you read on the laptop.

About this document
The document in detail.
The Power Outage Action Sheet is the page that gets taped inside the breaker panel or next to the enclosure. It is the one-page quick reference the keeper grabs at 2am during a winter outage so they do not have to read a 3-page playbook in the dark. The full playbook (KIT 15) covers the context. This sheet covers the action.
It is built for speed. Decision thresholds first. Then the cold protocol checkboxes. Then the hot protocol checkboxes for cresties especially. Then the hard rules (no open flame, no heating pad, no direct sun, no feeding cold geckos). Then the evacuation criteria.
What the document does:
It collapses the full Power Outage Playbook into a single page with five sections (decision thresholds, first 10 minutes, cold outage protocol, hot outage protocol, hard rules, evacuate-the-gecko-if criteria). Every section is checkbox or short-line format so the keeper can scan and act in under 30 seconds.
What is included:
- Decision thresholds (leos below 60 F for 2+ hours intervene, below 50 F evacuate; cresties below 55 F same; cresties above 82 F cool, above 88 F evacuate)
- First 10 minutes checklist (note time and temperature, check utility tracker, decide on intervention)
- Cold outage protocol (wrap hand warmer in 3 to 4 layers, position outside or on cool side, move to insulated room, cooler as temporary enclosure, replace warmers every 8 hours)
- Hot outage protocol (coolest interior room, damp towel, battery fan, light cool mist for cresties)
- Hard rules section (no open flame, no heating pad, no direct sun, no feeding cold geckos)
- Evacuation criteria for winter, summer, and vulnerable animals
Format and how it works:
Word version (.docx) for editing and a PDF version for printing. The single-page format is intentional. Most keepers tape the print version inside the breaker panel door, on the side of the enclosure stand, or next to the thermostat so it is findable in the dark with a flashlight.
Why this version is different:
Most reptile power outage resources are exhaustive guides. The Power Outage Action Sheet is the deliberate inverse. It is one page, action-only, designed to be scanned and executed under stress. The full playbook is in the kit binder for context. This sheet is the working document.
Who this is for:
For gecko keepers in any region with seasonal outages, especially winter cold and summer AC-failure scenarios. Especially valuable for breeders who want every buyer to have the protocol taped near the rack before the first outage. Pairs with the Power Outage Playbook (the full context document) and the Emergency Contact Sheet (which holds the utility outage line).

Updates
When the laws change, the document updates too.
You bought version 1. When a state adds a registry requirement, a new federal rule lands, or a working breeder catches something that belongs in the document, the new file shows up in your inbox. No upsell, no annual subscription, no "unlock by upgrading." The document is yours, updates included, forever.
Common questions
A few things before you buy.
The contracts were drafted with an attorney and pressure-tested across multiple working programs, but they are templates — not a substitute for a lawyer for your specific state's laws. Each file ships with a clear note about that. Most breeders use them as a starting point and have a local attorney review for state-specific edits.
DOCX + PDF. The DOCX opens in Word, Google Docs, Pages, or LibreOffice. The PDF is fill-on-screen or print-and-fill. Everything is editable.
When I ship a new version of this document, the new file lands in your inbox. Laws shift. A state adds a registry requirement. A working breeder tells me something that belongs in the document. The next version goes out to everyone who bought the previous one. No upsell, no annual subscription.
14-day no-questions-asked refund. If the documentdoesn't fit your operation, you get your money back and I'd genuinely like to hear why so the next version is better.
Yes, by a wide margin if you need more than two or three documents. The Keeper's Emergency Kit bundles this and every other keeper's emergency document for $18.50.
