Reptiles or warming up the house
My husband’s reptiles use a lot of electricity every month.
They each need special heaters and UV lighting and it gets to be pretty expensive.
All of those heat lamps also make the house very warm. I’ve been trying to save money by almost never running the air conditioner but I’m not doing that anymore. Last weekend, my husband came home with yet another snake he got from an internet add. I was already feeling grumpy because the house was hot and the reptiles’ heat lamps were not helping any. While my husband set up everything for his new snake, I decided to crank up the air conditioners. If the reptiles get climate control then I don’t think it’s too much to ask that I have climate control too. After my husband got done setting up the snakes tank, he went over to adjust the air conditioner thermostat. I told him he better not. If he touches that thermostat, all of his reptiles are getting kicked out of the house and he’s getting kicked out with them. He backed away from the thermostat quickly. I think I’m going to make a habit of this. I wouldn’t mind the reptiles in the house so much if I didn’t feel that I had to suffer because of them. From now on, I’m turning on the air conditioner whenever I want. If he complains about the electric bill, then he can get rid of a few reptiles and it’ll go back down. It’s time I start standing up for me and my comfort.
