My Room Build Thread (The Snake Pit)
Sometime ago I decided to convert the garage into a snake room (adopted name by my son is the ‘Snake Pit’)
From the off it has always set out to be a breeding project for dwarf & super dwarf retics. With the floor space I have we decided to start off with eight 3ft x 6ft x 16inch vivs, and two racks of twelve tubs making twenty four of those (yet to be fitted). We also managed to add in a GTP viv against the opposite wall. One of the tub racks is going to be a small breeding project of corns for my son
It has been quite a task to be honest, thoroughly enjoyable but hard work neither the less. Its fully insulated all around with 125mm kingspan, has a raised insulated floor and lowered insulated roof. New electrics throughout as well as new plumbing. Its ventilated with a good large air intake fan on one side (that will be connected to a thermostat) and vented on the opposite end higher up. We dropped a row of LED lights in running down the centre of the room with a couple over the sink unit. We also invested in a backup generator connected to an ATS panel that auto starts the jenny if (and when) the power goes.
The vivs are not setup fully yet, there’ll be no animals for a few weeks either but thought I’d share pictures of work so far.
Thanks for looking

Re: My Room Build Thread (The Snake Pit)
Wow that looks great MCB. I can't wait to move to a bigger house. I can't wait for a sink and work space in my snake room aswell Steve.
Soooo... Have you decided on what's going in these cages? I've thought of some cool ideas for you since we last talked.
