    Reptile room sizes

    I have a some what question/poll( possible) wondering
    I am wondering about the size of everyone rpetile collection verus the size of the reptile room and such ( like if you have a set room for just QT snakes to sit in until they cleared)

    My current reptile room houses 16 subadult /adult snakes ( bps and a single corn) and currently 9 hatchlings. that womping 25 snakesPLus I have to house my incubator , aspen, pine ( for rodents), and rodents all in a single 8x9 foot room. My QT room is my bedroom which is not large neough to house more than 3 snakes if lucky.

    Dream building ( with mutli rooms in it ) would be at least a 14x30 pole building insulated, with it own heat,/ac, water, and restroom
    with a small room that can be used as a office and in a pinch a bedroom( with tv and internet lol) .

    I currently have over 60 snakes of various species and have plenty of room to grow.

    My snake room where the pythons are kept is 220 square feet which would allow me to keep 80 to 88 adult BP and about 240/280 hatchling in racks, as well as having 4 (4x2) cages and a fridge incubator.

    The office is also used to keep snakes (colubrids) and I plan on keeping about 20 of them total in that specific room.

    Quarantine is done in the guest bedroom.

    My snake room is a 9x13 room that I sectioned off in the back of my garage. I'm in the process of building a storage shed so I can clear out the garage, close it off, insulate and expand...

    Mine is a 10'x12' extra bedroom on the second floor. It has 2 big windows so I don't need to worry about a light cycle and they both face south so it keeps that room around 75-76 degrees along with central air/heating. Currently, I have 2 bps and 8 corns in there but there is plenty of space for more in the racks. As for quarantine, I use the large closet in that room or they stay downstairs. The only herps kept on the main level are my original pair of corns and my beardie who are in display setups.
    Ball Pythons: 1.1 Pastave (Regulus and Ceti), 0.1 Albino (Aria), 0.1 Lesser (Daenerys), 0.1 Mojave (Sangria), 1.0 Enchi Pastel (Declan), 0.1 Normal (Sydney), 1.0 Lesser pos. het Clown/Pied (Loki), 1.0 het Clown pos. het lavender albino (Liam), 0.2 het Clown (Cara and Milly)

    Corn Snakes: 1.0 Blizzard (Flurry)

    Other: 0.1 Bearded Dragon (Faranth), 0.1 Russian Tortoise (Henry), 1.1 Dogs (Floppy and Lucy), 2.1 Cats (Jack, Brando, and Godiva), 1 Very Understanding Husband

    Re: Reptile room sizes

    they are in a 9x9 bedroom. Currently houses 20 adult snakes, 18 babies, 9 bearded dragons, 3 roach bins. Plenty of room to keep expanding, building your own enclosures and racks to fit your room helps out a lot.

    My snakes are currently housed in my living room in a tank and a rack. My future snake room will be one of our spare 10x12 bedrooms once I get it cleaned out and fixed up. Once it's ready for its inhabitants, there should be plenty of room for what I want to do. It is in our finished basement off of our rec room/living room so it's cool The house's A/C will do fine and there will be a space heater to keep temps up where they should be.

    I plan on working with boas primarily and I will be extremely selective on the individuals I'll use for breeding - partly due to their size and space considerations. But I don't feel that I need more space because I want to stay small and specialized. I really only plan to have 2-3 pairs of boas for breeding although I also plan to work with a single pair of Angolan pythons and, eventually, a pair of Indigos or black tailed cribos. The snake room will only house the snakes I'll be using for breeding and I can maximize space by using racks, even for the boas (Freedom Breeder Racks).

    My GTP will remain in our living room as a center display and I do plan on having one or two additional display animals that will be in our living room or rec room. My quarantine room is our other spare bedroom where I have plenty of space for a moderate-sized rack that holds both 27qt tubs and shoe-box tubs. I can have anywhere from 1-10 animals in quarantine at a time. That bedroom is, ironically, where my sugar gliders are kept and is also our "guest" room.
