    Lucky! When I start housing snakes, I might just end up driving there and buying in bulk! Haha.

    They're pretty pricey though! Do they give discounts at all? lol Also, where do you buy the tubs?


    Sorry for the onslaught of questions x.x

    No problem! We get them at Wal-Mart (boo hiss) around the holidays. They're Christmas tree storage boxes. Bought a pallet a while back and we haven't had to replace many, thankfully. They average $20-$30/tub depending on when you find them. They're usually marked down quite a bit after the first of the year.

    Wait, the tubs or the racks? lol. And I might be going to college in Iowa, so that's always a plus!

    The tubs. :) Pricing on the racks is in the ballpark of $875, IIRC.

    Actually, it is not an ARS rack. I bought it used from another breeder and am not sure what the brand name is, but it is very sturdy and can hold 60 hatchlings. Wish I could find a couple more at the price I paid for it!

    Not really a reptile "room" but my reptiles have basically taken over my entire living room. Here is a panorama!

    On the table to the left is where I have two snakes in QT. Middle I have my incubator/wine cooler conversion. To the right I have a shelf that has my crested geckos on it, and all the way on the end is my rack with the ASF trio on top.

    Hopefully getting a reptile/animal room within the next few months when I (hopefully) move!

    Sorry if I'm wrong, but i thought that if you were to quarantine an animal they would have to be in a separate part of the house :/

    They are on the other side of the room. I don't have an extra room to QT in so this is the best I can do. I do maintenance on my established collection first, then the QT snakes to prevent contamination to my collection. Everyone does QT in a different way.
