Nice Room Derek! Can't wait to see the updated photos. Do you control the heat and humidity in it as well? And if so how?
And Sapphyr, looking forward to your pics as well!

Yes the heat for the large white rack and little black rack is controlled by a helix thermostat and the big animal plastics T25 cage is controlled by a ranco thermostat. The humidity I just monitor with a digital accurite temp/humidity gauge and spray as needed.

Re: Let's see your snake rooms!

I meant, is the room heat and humidity controlled. I had assumed, you control your racks and cages. Incidentally, which thermostat do you prefer?

Re: Let's see your snake rooms!

My reptile room is my living room, i spend twenty hours in there some days so like having them close by.



The blue chair you can just see bottom left is my recliner.

Oh sorry! The room is not controlled separately from the rest of the house. Although my room snake room is upstairs and it stays around 70-75 in that room depending on the season. As far as humidity, Sometimes in the winter I will set up a humidifier in there to keep the humidity up because its soooo dry in the winter and then obviously just spray cages individually when needed. I prefer the helix thermostat, Mainly because of its illuminated display. One bad thing that I dont like about the helix is that if it fails, It does not shut off the heat source so it will get as hot as it can. Im not sure if ranco is the same way? But the ranco was a bit cheaper and has more outlets on it compared to the helix. I like them both though.

They are all melamine sealed with silicon, the reptileshop i goto has a sideline in building vivs to order so they all came from there. Hoping once the lottery win happens to buy all boaphile vivs, or at least fibreglass/ plastic setups anyway!

Re: Let's see your snake rooms!

Thank you, as per another thread posted tonight i think we can all look at our own collections/housing and say i wish i had.......... But it will do for now, as long as the animals are happy and healthy what we think is irrelevant to an extent!

Re: Let's see your snake rooms!

I actually think I'll be taking my pictures once my gnat problem is fixed. It's just annoying to have pictures of my room but have little gnats flying around in the pic ;c ... Then again, I could always photoshop them out.
