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
