New Snake Room Pics

Here is the new snake room. It is not at all complete, but is functional.
I still need to add the sink, freezer, incubator, desk, shelving & some cosmetic trim.

Awesome Snake room--are those wood cages hand made? What kind of bars did you use to make the with shelves with tubs on the right?

Yes all those cages are hand made. Kim Caldwell had them made a few years back. When she went out of business I was fortunate to get her Thayeri, but David Weymouth got all her supplies. I was fortunate again to be able to get them from David two weeks ago.
Each enclosure has two openings on the floor - one subfloor dry hide drawer and one subfloor wet (damp moss) hide drawer.

It has a unique dimmer system for heating/lighting. Each light has a mirror mounted above it to reflect the light to the entire cage. They are as David Weymouth used to say "The Five Star Hilton of Snake Homes." And I agree 100%

As for the shelf system on the right...I made that out of Melamine boards and 5/8" allthread with a nut & washer above/below each board. They are completely adjustable for any size tub.

Thank you for the compliments.
