best baby monitor usa image

If anyone out there owns a Fisher Price Private Connection baby monitor (or for that matter any other baby monitor by Fisher Price), could you let me know what the voltage rating for the AC adaptor is? I'm presently in the USA, and as such am looking for a monitor that runs at 120V, 60Hz, but I may be moving to India in a year or so where the AC power is 230V, 50Hz.
Thanks.
Answer
Most of the Fisher Price models are 120V, 60Hz. The Fisher Price Surround Sounds and lights adapter is 120V, 60Hz, 7W.
Hope this helps,
Alan

You should consider getting a reptile. Corn snakes are a good 'starter' snake, they are usually quite docile and very friendly and inquisitive. I once had a Corn that, whenever I got her out of her viv (viv = vivarium, the name given to a tank for reptiles) would go and investigate everyone in the room, never bit anyone apart from me (and it was my fault that she bit me). Corns are also generally good feeders, good shedders and don't grow too large (around 5 feet, with females getting slightly larger than males and quite thin, certainly not big enough to be a threat to humans, not even a baby).
If you'd rather go for a lizard than a snake, what about a pair of bearded dragons? 'Beardies', as they are affectionately known are a fairly small (around 15" nose to tail) lizard native to Australia. They are highly social and many develop quite a close bond with their owners, and anyone who regularly interacts with them. They will recognise people and will often show almost child-like personality traits, such as running up to the glass at the front of their viv to greet people, occasionally waving at you (this is actually a submissive gesture, they're actually saying 'I'm only little, I don't want any trouble. Please don't hurt me').
Beardies are also good feeders, and as they get older they actually become cheaper to feed because as hatchlings they have a lot of growing to do and so require more protien, meaning they need about 90% of their diet as live food (crickets, waxworms, etc.) and 10% vegetables/fruit. As they get older they need less live food and by the time they are adults they only need 10% - 12% live with the rest made up of fruit & veg. Beardies will quite happily feed from your hand (although they need to be trained to do this - it's not difficult, just hold food they like in front of them, eventually they'll take it - but do this while they are young, as sometimes they can be a bit over enthusiastic going for the food and accidently nip you, and bearded dragon bites, whilst not serious, do hurt quite a bit).
If you're after a more exotic reptile then maybe a larger snake (such as a boa or large python such as a Burmese, or an iguana or monitor lizard?
