How many months a keeper here runs added heat
All 7 of them sit above Calgary's outdoor average every month of the year. Heat is not a winter cost here, it is a permanent one.
Months whose outdoor average in Calgary sits below the night floor that each species' own care sheet states. Two measured numbers put side by side, nothing else: an indoor room changes the answer, and the audit is where you check yours.

|---|---|---|
| Bearded Dragon Pogona vitticeps | 18 °C | 12 / 12 |
| Ball Python Python regius | 23 °C | 12 / 12 |
