laytime:
my house is 5,800 approx sq feet and my electic bill is about $340 in the summer and $510 in the winter. That does not include gas. Gas comes on a seperate bill. My water bill varies month to month... it could be anywhere from $15 to $300. One of my water bills I had 120,000 gallons of water use on... that was $304. That's about the biggest I have had.

They do very well here. I wouldn't think of taking them out of their habbitat unless I knew they had a good home. Even if I sell one to someone or trade them I usually screen the buyer to make sure his system is adequet for the species survival.
And you can ask me anything about them for your home system that you like. If I can't help you out I can usually direct you to someone that can.
