As a former reptile enthusiast yes this was a valid concern. Making nice with the neighbors helped alot. Also red night lights made it look like we were running a brothel.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.

A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)
