Thanks my friend, nothing wrong with Herptek, pro racks etc etc, its a persons own choice for their individual requirements.I just got sick of having vivs of various sizes,models, and materials.To be honest having everything the same encourages better husbandry, in cleaning and general tidying up. I feel i owed it to the animals,and the practical value far outweighed the cost. however finances have to be a major consideration, believe me i had to do without to see the project out. But now and again i do feel a sense of pride, and always consider myself very very lucky.Take your time in making your plans, you have a great collection with a knowledge that will be with you a long time.

Fantastic set up, i dream of having a full plastic setup in the future. The wooden viv's look good but i think long term plastic is the way to go.

Must admit patience isnt my strongest point, going from zero to nine reptiles in a few months shows that! happy with what we have now tho and no more additions predicted for some time.

We are in a similar positiion to you now shaun, no more space til little one leaves home, tho she is only four!! Then her room may become a snake haven and the collection may expand, but for now more than happy and find nine enough work with cleaning and feeding because of my back. Would hate to get into a situation where i was pushing myself too hard with just maintaining a collection as it would be unfair on the animals.

Oh i love what i got, as my vivs are in my living room the wood fits well. I think tho that in future the plastic vivs will age better and fit in with whatever our decor may be.

Glad to hear that your happy with your lot, plastic are perhaps easier to clean, wood perhaps holds in more heat, plastic are perhaps lighter in construction,wood perhaps more sturderly build, whatever is right for you at the right time

Thanks, the weight is one of the major points for me, i can baly move my current vivs cos of my back, should it deteriorate in the future there will be no hope of moving them. At present my father and father in law help when things need moving but they are both up in their sixties so wont be aroundz for ever.

Imwould hate to have to pass on my collection in the future because of not being able to manage thenweight so thinking plastic or fibreglass cages are the way to go for the future, just the cost is prohibitive at present.

Sweet reptile room. I have cages by Boaphile they're plastic about like yours, but white. Yours are nicer looking than mine, but i am not complaining. I love the plastic vivs easy to clean and easy to move. Plan on get more next year.

Amazing reptile room! I can only dream of the day I have a facility like yours! Great work and great collection!
