Electrical bills....

[Nicky]

Hey all,
well due to the high cost of heating my mom dosen't want me to get anymore herps that require heating.( except for the garters i'm getting soon) until i can start pitching in for electrical which won;t be till next year. So I was just wondering if there are any snakes or lizards that can live at room temp( room around 70- 79 on hot days and slightly warmer during winter) or that only require very minimual heating ( do heat pads use as much electricity as bulbs?) or if anyone knows and products that i could use as an alternative to give heat without using to my electricity( i;m not sure as i've never use'd heat tape befor but does i plug in somewhere or just emit heat for ahwile and then need to be replaced) Thx alot really want to increase my collection and begging breeding some of my herps so just curious if anyone knew some alternatives or herps that can function without high temps.
thx again
Kayla
