I need some help.
I've been struggling in the cold winter to keep the temps in my room up.
Turning on a heat lamp only increases the ambient temps in the tanks of my snakes by a couple of degrees, and it's usually 60 degrees in my room without the space heater on.
If I turn my space heater on for more than a few minutes (which doesn't do much), then the circuit breaker for the upstairs electricity gets tripped, and I have to reset it.
Clearly it is too much electricity being used upstairs, so it is a fire hazard.
The space heater is 1500 electric power units, I forgot what they are...volts? hertz? Sorry, I can't remember.
Is there another option I can use to get the temps up that uses less of the electricity so it won't trip the circuit breaker?
I don't want to cause a fire, and I don't want to run the electric/heat bill through the roof.
Do ceramic heat emitters work? Could I install those in the tank? I know those suck up humidity, but I was thinking that if those work, I could get a warm humidifier for my room and humidify the whole room. (It's better for my lungs, since I have asthma.)
? I need help. I don't want my snakes to get sick. There has to be something that works, I'm just not thinking of it yet.
That's where usually you guys help, with the creative ideas.
