Updated Photos of My Reptile Room (DUW)
Everything fits so much better since I've given up 4 snakes and my gecko. Gonna start to stick with just pythons but mostly Balls. Anyway, here are some photos I took a few nights ago:
(Starting from when you walk in the door, then turning clockwise)

Two hatchling normal Balls I produced on first two shelfs, then a Common Kingsnake female on the bottom.

Nice room and setup. That is too funny about the rats running around - in that first picture I thought that was a rat sitting below the tank.
I'm not that comfortable with rats - I'm sorta afraid to handle them - yours must be pretty tame - lol.
Wouldn't want to bond with them only to have to feed them off - yikes!!!

Thank you:D!! They love to explore the room while I clean. Mine are pretty sweet rats, my male loves to jump up in my lap and get scratchies :).
And that actually was my rat inside the tank stand LOL:8:! She got in there through the back while I was distracted taking photos:rolleyes:
I definitely agree on that last part -- I try not to get attached to the rats I get for my Blood. Fortunately my rats are pets and breeders:D

Rats running around! you crazy? LOL
Looks good! Where are the big snake/s?
Re: Updated Photos of My Reptile Room (DUW)
Very nice setup! I love the pic of your cal king in her shed!! I'm just curious though... I noticed you don't use any clips or straps on the sides of your tubs... have you ever had a problem with escapes or does it seem to hold them in pretty well? I'm just wondering because I use binder clips along the sides of mine and I'm still always paranoid that it isn't enough haha Are the "latching lids" only secure for snakes up to a certain size?

Love your setup. Can't wait to have enough room to be able to have an awesome setup like that.
LOL the rat is a silly girl :P. Thank you :)! A room definitely is worth it!

Great pics and nice setup!
LMAO I guess the rat did throw a lot of people off:rofl:. Thank you!

Thanks! Of course I do, she's in the hallway next to the computer though instead of the reptile room. She's also in shed so she wouldn't have looked as great with photos anyway:rolleyes:

Thank you :D! I've always had no problems with the lids that lock on both ends, but I have had escapees with the tubs that don't have the locking lids. I'm sure your tubs are just fine with the binder clips :). The latching/locking lids seem to do well for all of my snakes of all sizes.. well, except for rather larger constrictors of over 5' (besides BPs & other small python/boa species).
Re: Updated Photos of My Reptile Room (DUW)
nice setup.. just curious for the tubs that are stacked on top of each other. what do you use to heat them?
Re: Updated Photos of My Reptile Room (DUW)
Looks like you could use a rack or two for all those tubs. :)
Must be a pain to have to unstack everyone to get to the bottom one.
The rats threw me off too. I don't think I could trust a free range rat. I'd be afraid they chew a wire.

I'm not sure about the ones in the photos, but a lot of new sterilite tubs come with a locking latch on each side that double for a handle.
Re: Updated Photos of My Reptile Room (DUW)
Looks good, Tiff. I agree with MasonC2K, you need some racks! I used to stack tubs like you do and building a rack was definitely a smart move for us. I like the A. avic setup. Looks a lot like mine. :D

Never had a problem with our rats chewing on stuff. Stealing food off our plates is another matter. They insist on being involved in (or into) everything we're doing. They mainly just like to explore and be nosy.

A lot of people who keep pet rats will let them run free. They won't disappear like a hamster will.
