    Outdoor Housing for multiple snakes?
    Just wondering if anyone has done any type of outdoors housing for their collections. I currently have 3 red blood pythons, 1 male and 2 females. I am looking to try and start breeding next year. My wife isn't thrilled about taking up an whole room in the house with more snakes and an incubator. Is it possible to step up outdoor housing?

    Well heating will be interesting seeing how you live in VA. Its waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too cold for them there. Also I wouldn't recommend housing together...not sure if you were considering that.

    They are all in separate enclosures. I didn't know if anyone has built some type of building and insulated the walls and had electricity wired to it.

    You can buy buildings or sheds and insulate them, run electric to them... you may need permits and inspections though.

    I think this is about the only option as far as outside goes.

    You can buy or build a building and run electricity to it but you WILL have to get permits. If you have a garage maybe you can section off a part of it and make sure it is well insulated and have a heat source in it?

    If you buy a pre-built free standing shed on skids, you might not need any permits at all. Some kits that are put onto a slab don't need permits, but you REALLY need to check your particular building codes, because if you need a permit and you don't get one, they can force you to tear down the building, AND fine you.

    A garage with insulation and heat is also ideal.

    I don't have a garage, but if did i would have sectioned that. Guess I'll need to start doing some research and find out about building codes and such. Thanks for the help. Any other possible ideas are welcome.
