13'x13' room dedicated to my snakes.

[Chadharper]

So I've sectioned off my garage with the specific intent to house my snakes and mice/rats in the room. Does anyone else has a similiar set up? I plan on breeding mice/rats and also acquiring more BP. currently i have 2 normals and one albino corn snake. i'm looking for layout ideas and also any suggestions on this idea.

I didn't section off my garage, I just made my office into a reptile room.

Do you have any pictures?

Do you have any pictures?

I'll try and get some tonight. It's not quite as elaborate as some though, but since reptiles outnumber everything else in the room, it's a reptile room

Same here, they have the front bedroom with one side for rodents

layout I think more depends on what you need to put in there, like my reptile room which is 9x9 with a 2x4 nook, I stacked all the racks on one side next to the nook, build shelves for bearded dragon babies in the nook, opposite side went the bigger snakes, i still have room to open the doors. and another wall got the adult bearded dragon cages. just gotta figure out how to make everything work.

heres a thread I made when I first built it, I got alot more in there now. more home built cages, I should take update pictures.

suggestions are defently make sure you got a way to cool and heat the room if needed, heats usually easy since you can just plug in a electric heater. but the only way I got to cool mine is with the houses a/c. 95 degree days can do a number on your reptile room.

most people say put in a fan to keep the room at the same temp, tho I did not lol.

I love my timers turns all the lights off at nights and other turns on the red bulbs for the dragons.

If a wash tub isn't close you might want one of those

for my rats I built a small sealed room in the basement, bathroom fans venting outside

I think rooms are a great idea, easier to control the temp and humidity for the children

Yeah, it's great knowing that your cool side is always 80-82. I have an electric heater with a built in rheostat. I got it at walmart and it works surprisingly well. I use a little fan on the other side of the room, the room has a ceiling fan, but I don't like it running with the dragons and the Cham.

I got three new pick ups so I'll get pics tonight. Also picked up two new tanks. Gotta make a place for them!
