Space Heater

I just came across this thing last week and decided to pick it up since, thanks to a dump of snow over the last week, it's freakin' winter out here again. I thought that those people with cooler snake rooms that are looking for a heating idea might like this.

I grabbed a little Bionaire ceramic space heater at Walmart for like 50 bucks. I'm sure there are others available at other stores that work just as well if you're looking.

Anyways, my room is about 10' x 10' and the nice thing about it is that it has a built in thermostat in it, so you set it and then it turns on only when the temp drops and turns off when it is above a set point.

The house is normally around 70 or so, but dips below that occasionally, so this makes sure that that room stays just right, even if the house is colder(pretty much only at night), but that it also isn't running all the time causing the room to get too hot.

It is set right now for about 70F(21C) and it maintains the whole room between 68-75F, which is just about right. Just got it last week, and am very impressed so far.
