We already have to turn off the space heater to use the hairdryer or the whole back room/bathroom shorts out. So... BP plans ONLY after we move which has to wait a couple of years for business school reasons.
Space really isn't that big of a deal... You could get a Boaphile or AP rack and have room for 5 adults without much a space consideration... and only ONE thermostat per rack... plus.. they're stackable... So you could get the 5 drawer sideways rack from Boaphile that Christie has, and you could get 10 babies and still have room for 5 adults all in about a 2ftx3ft area (up to the cieling).

I got a Boaphile 6 drawer sideways rack when I made my first "additional" purchase. I only got 4 snakes, and had room for 12... this was also bad for Kenny! I made plans to get 5 more normals immediately, and then after they were paid for.... realized... oops.. what about quarantine.. so I ordered another rack... (bad idea again... oops) So I changed the 5 normal order to 10 normals, and have another 3 snakes paid for, and waiting to ship out, and another 4 planned for...

Tubs are SUPER cheap at Target or Wal-Mart!
