Showing off my snakes and snake room, too!
I saw a few people posting theirs so I thought I'd join.
First the room, which is also my bedroom...although it doesn't have a bed at the moment. Got a futon coming Thursday.
Wall 1: 20gal long holding Ramses, modified Sterilite shelf "rack" holding the bee and lesser, empty 48x16x18 that is being prepped for the boa. Supplies under the rack and the big tank, some of my art on the wall

Hoping to switch a lot of these guys to actual vivariums soon. Maybe turn the big tank into an arowana display....
(Also, before anyone gets on my case about using heat lamps instead of pads, I tried pads and they didn't get the temps high enough. I've got a system going with the screen tops and heat lamps that works and the sheds have been relatively uneventful since I got it worked out.)

XD That's what I got them for. Going for lesser bees and queen bees in a year or two.

XD Well, I was hoping to get multiple lesserbees or queens so i could keep one of each and sell the rest.
Welp, the pair I've got now are still small. The male is 121 g and the female is 249 g. So, it'll be a little while before I can breed them. But, if I do get an extra lesserbee, I will let you know. XD

Nice kids, thanks for sharing!
Re: Showing off my snakes and snake room, too!
I would be careful, those draw set ups are easily escaped. There are a lot of people who tried those as racks with bad results. I just wouldn't want to see you lose such nice animals.:(

Thanks for the concern, but I think I've got them pretty secure. I covered the sides and back with cardboard and the front crack is tiny. The only time it's escapable is when I'm pulling the drawers out, since the snakes can then go over the back plastic. But, then I'm right there and can get them before anything tragic happens.
That being said, they won't be used very long. The female has already almost outgrown it, and it's kind of a waste to keep a single snake in a three-drawer setup. My futon is coming to Walmart this Thursday, so I'll be getting separate tubs for them while I'm there.
