Large Power Bill

Just got a power bill that is more than i expected. i have been running a 14 bank enclosure that runs on heat tape/ thermo and dimmer. I must have the thing adjusted wrongly or do they just chew heaps of power??

Will I have to tell the wife i need to buy 10 more snakes to fill it so it is more economical???

Why stop at ten?

I think I would be looking at at least 15 breeding pairs, in a well insulated snake room to justify a bill like that!
