Lets see what you guys got!

It would be real helpful to see what everyones settup looks like for those of us who are still getting ours together!

Here is one of mine.

Thats real good looking... Im stuck myself... I want to be able house a good amount of snakes, but the wifey wants it to look nice... so i might just build something myself like that....

Good job!

Jason:

Here is my set up.

I had this 10 foot by 22 foot long room built on the side of my house. It has a sky light, a wash basin, and electrical outlets placed every five feet or so.

I breed both ball pythons and boas and am able to breed both types of snakes at the same location.

It has a metal door with a dead bolt and a security system in place.

It works perfectly for me.

Brian, that is one great setup!!!!!! Maybe one day ill convert my shed into something like that...

Jason:

Thanks for the compliment.

For years I had my collection in the garage. It's amazing how things have evolved.

The most important thing to me is that everything is on wheels. This allows me to move things around with ease. You never know when I'm going to leave a cage door open and have to go snake hunting.

I hope everyone is having a great season.

Heres a shot of my snake room (closet) its my wifes walk in closet and she wasnt to happy about me changing it into my snake room. As you can see from the pic thats my youngest son whos about 4' 11" and 80 lbs that theres not much room in there for anything else. I have 3-32 quart vision racks a vision table top hatchling rack a melamine hatchling rack and half of a vision cb-70 rack that I have to wheel in and out everytime I want to go in there. But this pic was taken yesterday I was doing some cleaning and found a female that tricked me sitting on some eggs. I never actually caught her ovulating but knew she was close and then she shed about a month ago so I marked the tub for somewhere arround yesterdays date (Im guessing I dont remember for sure) and then she went into shed about 2 weeks ago again so I figured that maybe that was her POS and changed the date on the tub. Well I had a surprise when I went to water her I found 6 pretty whites under her.

Heres a pic of the girl I found and her clutch shes a beautiful hi-yellow girl the flash washed her out but she was bred to a 100% het Desert Ghost so with her I have 3 clutches of possible het desert ghosts this year and one from last year.

Here is one I recently built. Its completely finished now. I put foot long panels in the back of each level that are recessed slight and have heat tape secured in place. The heat is then controlled by a helix. The tubs sit on runners, not levels, therefore there is no sticking.

I'm in the process of building another at the moment.

Can you create a page...or just give us measurements, for building that? That's an awesome rack.

I'd build it in 3 box segments and stack them, so they're easily transfered in case of moving.

I'll see what I can do.
