My glass terrarium setup.

I went down to Home Depot and bought a shelving set for about 70 bucks ane threw it together as a way to house all my babies in their tanks. We had to switch out of tubs after my wife freaked out when one of the animals escaped. ( it was found ) Either way, heres a picture of the current setup :) Its a pretty efficient use of space, only lines one part of a small wall in our house. Lets me provide proper care for the animal and allows me to still be able to look at them.

Nice set-up. Very tidy. I use to have tanks all over the place and I wound up just putting them all side by side and ran a single strip of 11" flexwatt under all of them.

that looks really nice, but how do you get into them?

Looks very clean and nice.

Excellent question. The tanks are relatively lightweight and the particle board underneath is typically covered with a type of silk or fleece or some other relatively inexpensive material you can get at a craft store. It is then just a matter of sliding the tank out just a hair, or turning it just a hair. Top slides or lifts open and you reach in and done.

i wish i would have thought of something like this, but i've already started buying stuff to get my guys into tubs. they'll still be on a wire shelf thing, just not a rack. Oh well. Nice solution ya got though!

nice setup ive never seen that before

very organized!

Thank you for the positive feedback. I hope it can help people.

Just don't forget to cover the back and sides of those tanks for security and insulation. :) Otherwise looks pretty good.

I have plans in the future to construct a shelf unit for tanks with a slide out system, rather like drawers, to get into the tanks.
