Do Heatlamps an UTH's cause a noticeable jump in your BGE bill (24/7 use)

Does the price affect on BGE bills vary when using Infrared and Non- Infrared and on varied wattage?

Is there anything that you can do to lessen the expense of these obviously necessary items?



Reason I ask is I wanted to get a 2nd snake and my bf keeps saying that another heat lamp is going to make or BGE Bill that much higher. I personally didnt think they used that much electric.

I did however notice a change when I had to use both a UTH and a 150 W Infrared this winter just to keep my tank at 85
