I normally start turning the heating on in October.
It varies. We like most of the country had a warm October. I have had the heat on for a few days but I was still using air conditioning until late October. I would open the windows but by late afternoon I would give up, close the windows and turn on the AC. I even got an email from the electric company saying that my electricity usage was up from the previous year. Probably a warning because I am on budget payments. I know it was from using the AC much later than normal.
Our heater was on this morning when I woke up. Guess it's officially fall.
We only turn on the heat when I'm visibly shivering/have blue fingers. Before that we just try to layer. I also turn it on when I'm about to shower, otherwise it's freezing in the bathroom!
Heating prices are expected to be super high this year because of supply / demand issues caused by the pandemic 
Home heating costs will rise sharply this winter, federal government forecasts

nope i cant trust graycie with all those wires etc.just waiting to be chewed or messed with. probably i couldif/when i move into a place where i could have a dedicated bug roomand gf allows it. heat lamps/pads must be used with caution and care with tarantulas cause they are dumb enough to cook themselves. safer and easier to just heat the entire room they are kept in
