I *finally* got finished moving in all my snakies into another room instead of my bedroom It's *nice* to have an entire room devoted to my reptiles.

Everyong is posting pictures of their snakies, or of their cages, but I want to see some pictures of WHERE you keep all your animals. Even if it's just your bedroom or livingroom

Thanks!

This is a picture of half of my Reptile room.

Top cage houses a Sumatran Red. The bottom cage is for my yearling Coastal. Back in Connecticut, I had an entire basement to do this in. Now I share my music with my pythons!

Other side of my room. Adult Coastal and Boa. Again, bottom cage homemade. I need to do a better job next time though...

We just finished this room. Each of my kids got to paint a wall and I got one. (you will have to guess which is which) And, now that it is all together I am gonna build a large colubrid rack. Eclectic is one thing but this is too much. Also includes all my feeders too! And gee, we have a living room back!(well, except the four cages of birds, the one cage of 'pet' rats and future breeders that my kids tame for me and the sugar glider, dogs and cats. BTW, yes, that is a kero heater and you can't see it but the door is braced open for air. Soon to replace with some fume free heater...when they reappear on the market.

This is my room, but it's already too small. I'm going to build new cages for another room starting this week.

Well here's my room. Hopefully I'll be moving in with some friends here shortly and will have my own level of the house to have my herps in, instead of just a bedroom. yay for that. Please ignore the random clutter. I just snapped these pics for you

from the left to right side of the room...

In this pic there is my male Irian jaya carpet, baby Sav, 1 ball python, a kingsnake, and male macklots. No the kingsnake isn't permenantly in that spot, nor is that its perm home. LOL. There are my roach colonies and tub rack holding my Leos hiding in the corner behind the dresser that serves as a tank holder.

Main wall. In this one there is 3 mentioned before, Nile monitor, retic, sonoran boa, colony of juvie beauty snakes, juvie JCP, another ball python, and a couple leos.

This pic is messy. From the viewpoint of my bed. Large beauty snake cage, scrub python, tank holding my pink factories, sugar glider, another boa's cage hiding in the back corner, and theres my albino burms cage obscured by the mice's tank in the foreground.

The big grey cages on the ground are my new nile monitor and
yellow foot tortoise cages. Mostly the rest is various Morelia
and tree boas. The wall you can't see has a couple big 180 gallon tanks
that have some other carpets in them. but I'm taking them out and doing a wall
lenght rack unit. we have a 1 bedroom house for all the mammals,
the reptile house is a seperate building as well. I love the country.

Hope you like it.

My wife said that she wanted the snakes out of her living room, so a little remodeling was in order.

Been there, just finished doing that! Only ours was in the cellar with pipes along one wall and the I beam in the middle of the house in the way of the other. Oh, and the ceiling needed to be finished! We all gotta be nuts. Building rooms! Redoing electric!

The left side of the larger Visions will probably be replaced with two racks of Freedom Breeders this summer if I can swing it. The room is 10' x 13' but you can do quite a bit with modular caging and racks.

n/p

whats even MORE awesome is the animals he keeps in those cages *hints to some animal pics*

Isnt it dangerous to have exposed lights in the cage? Or do you just not use them? I had to buy metal covers for my Infra-red lights. Its a [bleep] to screw in though.
Just curious

I have used light bulbs like that for over 20 years with no problem. These days I only use the lights while I am in the room for visibility, not for daytime light cycling. For about 10 years when I first started keeping boas and pythons, I used the same light set up as the sole heat source. Actually, not quite the same - they were 150W flood lights, and they were on 24-7. I never had a problem, and can't say the snakes did either. My first snake (wc boa constrictor) died last year after 25 years in captivity. My second snake (a burm) is still alive and healthy, now going on 21 years old.

That said, I am working on a new cage design to replace all my old caging and will probably go with a flourescent light.

This is part of my facility.Of course I won't go in there since I saw "The Big Squeeze" on T.V. I hired a 6 year old kid to go in to feed my big Burms.Hasn't come out yet and it has been about a week,but I'll be darned if I am going to go in there and risk my life to check on him.

The big squeez was way more funny than annoying, Ill give it that. Just watching that puppet Burm eating that guy was worth the whole wait!
