No not carpeting, lol, wall to wall tanks/ this is the nutty time of year when it's CHAOTIC but interesting,,,, hehhehee, heres one section of room.
Theres a large pen in the middle it's two 40 gallon breeder tanks or critter cages put together to make a BIG SQUARE pen.

Another wall with all 40 gallon breeders set up for girls to lay. Everything is simple these days, after a couple years ago when I got snake mites in on some rescues and spread them around my reptile room, I tossed all wood, slate, natural rock that I had decorated with and loved.

I replaced it all with big 14 inch resin boulders for just about every tank, some have two big boulders, and some other basking stuff that can be srubbed anytime. I also do not put in tons of sand anymore because I clean each tank every week. So I use a covering of sand and large piles for the girls under their nest rocks.
So my room does not look real COOL but is REAL cozy and Clean for them all and they stil get to come out and run the room , it's lizard proof since it belongs to them
**EXCUSE the wires hanging everywhere, I have not finished up as far as backrounds to cover them as I have just purchased large strips the length of the 40 breeders and have to put them all in this weeks.

Theres some baby tanks on the floor, A FEW SMALL SQUARE glass pens. And a couple more 40 breeders

that's a lot of tanks and your setups look really good.

Hahahaha, thanks, that's only about half the room of tanks, lol, that is a quick shot from the middle over to the left, theres still another wall of homes, lol

Yeah, lots of tanks to clean. I spend alot of time each day just filling water bowls, and passing out food.

I know what you mean I have quit a few lizards myself and I spend about an hour a day taking care of them but i don't have near as many as you
p.s My male C. Bicinctores just mated with both C. Collaris Females today the babies should be pretty cool.

Wow Eve that's alot of tanks, love the colour paint you used in the room has a definite mojave desert feel to it. They have do it yourself garage storage cabinet/tabletop unit at places like Home Depot, OSH's, and Lowes. Relatively inexpensive and they look nice, looking at get them for our garage and computer room.

Not sure you have this supplier out there but I am using a couple of products by a company called Pet Tech. Magnetic backgrounds, ledges, water dishes and alot more fun stuff. I'd recommend them as my collareds love the ledges and water bowls. Well Thelma uses the waterbowl as her tub and bathroom, then she gives me that, ummm I'm using that look when I take it out to clean it. Hrm, need to post some pictures of the collareds and Ommarosa.

Yeah, I have seen the storage/ cabinets, they are nice. I used to have my long wall with wood top the whole length on top of cabinets the whole length of wall. I sorta hated the space it took, my collareds sometimes woudl get behind the cabinets, which was terrible, and when I had the mite sitituation I decided that I wanted the room totally EMPTY, wanted all wooden furniture OUT for good.
Thought about long picnic metal tables, but again take too much space. So as you can see in pics, not real spiffy, but totally functional and metal, we got 3 metal horses and did use two treated planks on top. It is super sturdy and is holding three 40 gallon critter/breeding tanks.

And whats nice is I have lots of space under the top level of tanks, the whole floor is open under there for smaller baby tanks, or my large plastic drawers for storage , lizards can go walk there and not get lost under anything and if I need to move or change anything in there I can just take off the planks, and fold up my horses. So although it's not FANCY to look at it is totally functional , scrubbable, and works fine for now

YES, post your lizards

Heres the boulders I now use in every tank, they may not be as purrty as natural rock I used to use, but do not have a zillion crevises/ or are not porus and can be scrubbed/soaked anytime . They are "heavy" almost like a rock, and have an opening in the back so they can go under. I like them also because they are safe to be under beings they are hollow. They are pretty big and the collareds enjoy them that's the most important part, lol.

There is a jumbo size that's stupid, looks like a train tunnel too high of opening.. but ex-large size looks pretty nice if ya want a big basking rock.

They can be expensive when you need a zillion of them, so I was getting about 4 at a time for quite awhile until everyone had one or two.
