    Yeah, there's nothing snakes like more than the smell of wood burning.

    Believe it or not it doesn't smell that bad at all. The door stays shut and the smell goes up the chimney.

    Oh, I didn't mean that it would smell bad, I just meant that the smell of something burning would probably be interpreted as a sign of danger.

    Possibly at first, but I think they would get used to it after a while. When I lived on our dairy, I didnt think it smelled. Its gotten a bit stronger now that I'm not around it all the time.

    One should assume ALL wildlife would panic at the smell of smoke.

    You don't say.

    Well, yeah. I doubt they're going to get that it's a controlled fire.

    They will understand, as quickly as they fall in love with their owners

    *Bump*

    I've been thinking about this lately, after realizing all the electricity I've got going in my room(two heat lamps, a fish tank filter, and light for fish tank). Any other methods any one uses? Maybe ways of heating/lighting multiple tanks with one source?


    I've also been wondering, if you have something like the picture below, are you using the same amount of power as if you were to plug multiple things into multiple plugs?
