About this document
The document in detail.
Every contact the keeper might need in a gecko emergency, on one printable sheet. Fill it out once. Print it. Tape it inside the breaker panel or next to the enclosure. The person who finds this sheet in the keeper's absence (housesitter, family, emergency responder) should be able to act with no other context.
The sheet doubles as a delegation document. The "If you are reading this and the keeper is not home" section gives a five-step instruction block for anyone unfamiliar with the gecko, so a non-reptile housesitter can do the right thing without needing the keeper on the phone.
What the document does:
It captures eight sections of fillable contact information (this sheet covers, primary exotic vet, backup exotic vet, 24-hour emergency vet, breeder, backup keeper, utilities and household, pet poison and reference) plus a five-step "if the keeper is not home" instruction block for visitors and responders.
What is included:
- This sheet covers fillable fields (animal names, species, hatch dates, binder location, enclosure location)
- Primary exotic vet fillable block (clinic, phone, after-hours number, address, hours, account ID)
- Backup exotic vet fillable block
- 24-hour emergency vet fillable block with reptile-capable yes/no
- Breeder fillable block (name, program, phone, email, website)
- Backup keeper fillable block (name, phone, email, key access, knowledge level)
- Utilities and household fillable block (electric outage line, account number, gas, water, landlord, pest control)
- Pet poison reference (ASPCA APCC 888-426-4435, Pet Poison Helpline 855-764-7661)
- Five-step instruction block for housesitters and emergency responders
Format and how it works:
Word version (.docx) for editing and a PDF version for printing. Most keepers fill the sheet once, print, and tape inside the breaker panel or on the side of the enclosure stand. Re-print whenever a contact changes.
Why this version is different:
Most emergency contact sheets are personal-only and assume the keeper is the one reading them. This sheet is delegated. The "if the keeper is not home" instruction block at the bottom is the key piece. It tells a non-reptile-savvy housesitter exactly what to do if they walk in and the gecko looks wrong, without needing the keeper on the phone.
Who this is for:
For gecko keepers who travel, work long shifts, or live in households where other people may need to act in their absence. Also valuable for breeders who want every buyer to have a delegation-ready emergency document from day one. Pairs with the Finding an Exotic Vet Worksheet (which feeds the vet sections) and the Power Outage Action Sheet (the other tape-near-the-rack document).

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.
