Count yourself lucky. I have 17 vivs and a full room of T's and scorps. Your electric bill is my dream come true.

Seriously; what you keep? I keep loads but I save money by heating a whole room with the central heating.

Thats good mate.
we have 22 vivs all set up.
it costs me about 35 quid a week in electric inc house appliances.
Its the price we have to pay for our reps i suppose.
Just hope they bloody appreciate it.

That's the down side of rep keeping = high electric bills unless as said before you keep them all in one room.

Plus you pay extra for the priviledge of your meter if you are on a pre-pay.

I'm on pre-pay for my electric and a normal bill for my gas.

My reps are in my bedroom so I have the heating higher in there (partly because of the cost of electric and partly because of one the vivs heating needs sorting out)

I can't wait to move to a bigger place with a reptile room - hopefully before I die of dehydration in the middle of the night!!!


Does keep the bills down a little though!
