Reptile Heating and Pet Care Calculator Data: What 5 Real Sessions Show in 2026

Reptile Heating and Pet Care Calculator Data: What 5 Real Sessions Show in 2026 A single real visitor session on 2026-04-22 ran five computes through our Reptile Heating Calculator and revealed that the enclosure material matters more than the species: a corn snake in a glass 24-inch enclosure costs $99/yr to heat, but the same enclosure in mesh drops it to $74/yr — a 25% swing driven entirely by how much heat escapes.
