I'm sitting here looking at my electric bill, and WOW!
This time last year I only had 5 snakes, Now I have 19 reptiles. My bill went from $230/$310 a month to $420/$505(this bill) a month.
I'm not b!tching, it's just one of them things...........But damm it sucks.
Have a good one!
I've noticed the same thing here, but since I recently downsized my collection from both chameleons and snakes to just the snakes and a beardie there was a significant drop in my bill.
I'm still looking forward to November when the power company switches its pricing plan and my bill will go from $180 or so to $70... Summers in AZ are very expensive... although not quite as bad as your bill... but then I only have 12 snakes and the beardie. Most of my cost is the A/C... in the summer I drop the wattages down to around 40 or so as it is so hot outside and it causes major a spike in temps inside... In the winter they get switched to 60-75 watts or so... Good luck on keeping the prices down
