I currently have two snakes, and was discouraged from buying more due to the cost of electricity (our bill is HUGE!) more than the cost of the initial investment (cage, equipment, animal).

I was finally able to measure the power consumed by my snake setups and for two snakes it's less than $5 a month! WOOHOO!

So now I am not only planning one more snake, but several!

Hmmm....what to choose.....
BRB almost definitely
Bull Snake - desired but worried about the potential of untamability - definitely want a colubrid but am somewhat undecided
Albino BCI....perhaps........
ETB....dream snake but somewhat intimidated

Turns out the big hitters on our electric bill are WARM MIST humidifiers! Just one of those little one-gallon units was drawing almost $20 per month! Holy COW! Those are in the trash now.

It's going to be a great year for me I think!
