    Staying Organize

    I was curious to know how everyone manages to keep organize while adding more reptiles into their collection. How do you manage to keep open space in your room? Any particular cages, racks that allows you to have more reptiles? I only have a ball python, and blue tongue skink, but want to add more into my collection and would love your advice.

    I have cages that stack, that makes things pretty easy.

    This is a really old picture, now I have a stack that goes pretty much floor to ceiling, but you can get the concept from this:



    The ultimate in animals per square foot is the rack though. The ARS 7030 rack can hold 30 adult BP's in the almost same amount of floorspace as my stack of cages which at most can hold 16 adults. (48" x 24" AP cages) vs (55" x 33" ARS 7030)

    Animal Plastics Cages: http://www.apcages.com

    ARS Racks: http://www.arscaging.com/ars7030.html

    These two aren't the only options out there, but they are some of the best.

    Things like the herpstat 4 save space and allow better organization. By combining 4 individual thermostats into a single unit you can save space and money:

    Re: Staying Organize

    I have a rack that isn't filled yet and I have two 40 gallon breeders tanks for isolation. I also have a 8 foot work table with all my cleaning supplies, hand sanitizers, notebook, mister and other various stuff.

    I also have a whole reptile room that isn't even 20% filled yet so I have alot of room and planning to work with.I think origination is key to keeping happy healthy reptiles. If you're not organized other bad habits usually follow, hopefully other people will shine on how they say organized.
