ok guys so the time has come where my current snake room may have to be re-utilized for something other than snakes. my only real options are a separate out building or the basement. i have already discussed the out building here once. my next question is about my basement. it is un-finished and gets damp at different times of the year. i have never noticed any mold or mildew but im sure its their in spots. i house my rats down their and have not had any problems with them at all.
i was thinking about sectioning off a room specifically for the snakes. it should be dryer than the rest of the basement. it will have a window to the outside for day/night cycles. i will heat the room independently and have heat per rack as well. the room stays fairly cool so i wont have to cool it at all. my biggest concern is the amount of moisture, humidity and air quality.
this option seems like the best for me right now. it is also the most cost effective at the moment.
ALL COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME....PLEASE RESPOND
