New Snake Room

[Ron]

I moved from a condo to a house recently so I finally have my own snake room instead of using the dining room. I built some new racks and I have finally organized everything...well kinda.

Good side of room:

Bad side of the room:

Now all I have to do is figure out what I want to fill everything with.

That room has no bad side! I'm sorry to tell you I'm stealling all these pics and ideas and by June I'll be posting pics of my new snake room that will be nothing more then a ripe off of yours!
Hey at least I'm honest right?
Great job and great pics,
Trevor

Wow, way cool Ron! So you have tons and tons of housing for snakes you don't own yet? You mean you're planning in advance? HETHAN! :D

Looks great. :)

[Cruciform]

That's a great setup!
My girlfriend hasn't seen it yet, but I can tell you right now, you're on her bad side :D

[asphyxia]

Very Impressive and professional.

Well Done!

Cheers
Brian

BTW, what are you kepping now?

[Grant vg]

Any herp room with more then one side is a good herp room in my books!
Arn't those 3 footers just the perfect cage or what!!

Very professional, very clean. and very well done!

Enjoy filling them up. :D

Thanks everyone.

Trevor,

You are more than welcome to use the pics for ideas but I would probably suggest you don't build the racks to fit 2 sweater boxes lengthwise as I did. They sag a little in the middle which can pinch your tubs; luckily I spaced it large enough that it's not too bad. While I was reorganizing I placed a 2200 gram female BP in one of the tubs and you can definitely tell that it caused some sag in a couple of weeks. She is normally housed in a Vision cage but she's gravid so I'll wait till she's done laying to move her. If you're using it for your corns it should be fine.

Ken,

Yeah I know it's weird having all the room, I could get 40 snakes tomorrow and house them easily. I still have to build 2 hatchling racks and I also have my Asian ratsnakes in another room that's cooler than this one. The TARAS show could be dangerous for me.

Brian,

I only have 16 BP's in the 2 far racks but 3 of the females are gravid so with some luck I should be able to fill some more enclosures.


Grant,

I love the 3 footers for my larger female BP's and they look about right for some bolivian amarali which I hope to get soon. I like the way you set yours up for your ETB's; I'd like to do something similar for Chondros or maybe Rhino rats.

Thanks again,

Ron

That room looks sweet, Ron!

Can I come over to play? :D

[Grant vg]

i can just imagine....

Tim: "I told you i could fit your cat in that 2221, can we try the dog next??"

[HetForHuman]

Nice looking room there Ron, i cant wait to get out of this little craphole house im in now and have a room like that..

[TheRedDragon]

Great looking room, and awesome idea getting all those enclosures before you get some snakes. :)

[Bartman]

holy, a nice big dedicated room..now thats what i need! Cant wait till i move out or possibly own a reptile store..id like to do that!

[BoidKeeper]

Thanks for hte heads up Ron. Mine are going to be 4 high and 1 or 2 wide.
Cheers,
Trevor

that room is amazing, you did a great job, in the first pic it looks like there is an iguana on the top of the cage. how many snakes can you house

[EXXXtacy2000]

Those vision enclosure are really nice. Would they house an adult boa? How well do they work out?

[David Kwok]

awsome room Ron!

[David Kwok]

Oh and btw GVG controls are awsome, I highly recommend them

[sapphire_moon]

Since he said the visions are 3ft, then a 3ft vision would probably be able to house a hog island boa. But for one of the larger ones, like a columbian you would need atleast a 4-6ft vision which can get pretty expensive.


Awesome room, can't wait to move and set up some racks!

How do you figure out how much wattage is being used and how much you are paying a month for it?

[Ron]

jparker1167,

It's a stuffed iguana my girlfriend got for me and there is room for about 70 animals to house individually.

EXXXtacy2000,

I agree with sapphire moon, the 3 footers are too small for adult boas but great for big female BP's. I like using Vision cages, if I used melamine cages I would have broken my back by now moving them around.

sapphire moon,

There is ~30' of 11" and ~8' of 4" so about 664 watts total. I also use a room heater so my dimmers controlling the heat tape is never more than 60% "on". I have no idea how much this cost me but I'm sure it nothing compared to what we spend on feeding our dogs.

Incredible room - inspirational - thanks for sharing the photos - now we want to see all the critters once you fill it up!

great room! soon as i got space im gonna have to kit out a room like that!

[Chris04]

Ron, great room! That easily rivals some breeding and hatching rooms I've seen in specialty reptile stores. Great job! One question though, what are you thinking of putting in those rubbermaids?

[Ron]

Chris04,

Mostly BP's; males and smaller females will go in the sweater boxes, large females will either go into the Vision cages or the blanket box rack in the second pic.

[sketchy4]

very nice!

[Batdad]

Nice clean looking setup:)

[Linds]

What a great looking setup! Super organized and clean :cool:

[Yanis]

[Greg West]
