So my great-uncle has rigged up solar power in his home. (He doesn't have reptiles, in case you're wondering).
My brother was insulting him, saying about how impractical it was, but I thought it was actually a rather bright idea, especially when the rest of us have power outages and then, guess what, end up relying on the power company to come to our aid. Which seems highly impractical to me. But that's just what we do. Beside that, I hate relying on other people.
So then our power went out on Monday, and didn't come back on until Wednesday evening. Which I was half thinking was hilarious, given that just the day before I'd been considering all the reasons why we even go with a power company.
Anyway, I'd love to try solar power, but I don't know much about it, and though I'm sure I'll find lots of information about it online, I'm more concerned about my ball python. Do you know exactly how one would go about rigging up a proper heat source using solar power?
I checked other forums and there were people who had absolutely no clue when this guy (a ball python owner) was trying to sell them solar panels for their herps. So I was wondering if anyone here would know anything about it? Would it even be a good idea?
Thanks in advance.
