New Reptile Shack

Hey guys,
I just wanted to show off my latest project. I had been keeping my rodents and reptiles in my spare bedroom but the rats were being messy and ruining the carpet. My solution was to build a room in the garage. I started by insulating the garage door with styrofoam sheets. My next step was building the enclosure itself. It's 12' X 6' 6" which is enough room for my rat rack and cb-70 racks. The great thing is I have tons of storage space on top now.

I plan on building more racks out of XPVC if I can find any.

Looks like a GREAT solution to your problem. Keep us up to date on how it works out for you.:gj:

Looks good!!!! wish I had a garage to house my stuff in!!!

I was worried that it would be too cold, but the space heater keeps it in the mid 70's even on cold nights.

snakes/rats same enclosed room? seems like a stressor on both

That's how I've always kept them. It may keep the snakes in an excited state due to the smell of rodents. I seriously doubt it affects the rodents though. I plan on adding an air purifier to take care of the smell.
