Caging setup
We are moving into the house that we are building in about 2 weeks. I get my own reptile room and I want to know what caging setups I could use for multiple reptiles. Snakes Mainly. I was thinking like the tub racks but I am not sure it is the best idea to go with what do you think?

"You can think of the envoirment like a plane. If you take one piece of a wing off that plane it will still stay up in the same way if you take one animal out of the envoirment it will stay in balance, but when you take multiple pieces off that plane or multiple animals out of the enviorment it can't balance."

Re: Caging setup
It really depends. if you are planning on keeping smaller snakes (Balls, colubrids, ect) then go for tubs in a rack system. If you are planning on keeping larger snakes like B.c.i. or even giants, Home built cages or manufactured cages like Boaphile or Animal Plastics are the way to go.
Hope this piece helps you a little bit at least

Re: Caging setup
I plan on keeping corns, balls, and other colubrids but the largest thing i already have is 2 Common boas 5 & 7 ft long. That is probably the largest of the snakes I will keep anyway but I don't think that tubs are manufactured that large are they?

Re: Caging setup
Ya, I wouldn't dream of putting my pride and joy(Ruby, my 6' female B.c.i.) in a tub. She will eventually be the "Center piece" in my herp room when we get it done.

Re: Caging setup
If you like display cages more than tubs and you're not going to have a huge amount of animals you can always get cages of assorted sizes that stack on top of each other. I personally find it visually appealing, but maintenance would be more work than having a combo of racks and cages.

Re: Caging setup
I now keep 14 different snakes and 12 of them are in a rack system and it makes things 10000x easier especially when it comes to cleaning day. A simple dump, spray, wipe, and dry, throw some more substrate in and you are good to go. I can clean all my tubs and have snakes back in them within 30-45 mins
