On the elect bill i payed about a $150.00 more a month during the winter but this year i had to run two heaters instead of one. Rats cost me about $50.00 to feed 16 snakes. As for keeping temps and humidity in the correct range it's not hard at all if you keep our room at a set temperature. Plus most of mine have almost the same requirements.

Haha...yeah it can be a lot to take care of.

I live in South Florida so, the weather (temps/humidity) here is perfect for the snakes I keep.
My place is basically a big barn and is not climate controlled other than by the natural temps outside....which again are about the same as their natural range.
So, I really don't have to heat or cool or any of that.

The lights are for me more than my snakes (So, I can view them) and during the day, I have the door open so the get plenty of natural day light as well.
The light bill isn't that bad......about 100 a month.

Food is my biggest cost at about 300/400 every 2 - 3 months.
