Your reptile room!
I'm pretty sure that this thread hasn't been made, so I went ahead and made it! Post pictures of your Reptile room here! I'd love to see how everyone sets their room up! Did you make any changes to the room to make it your suitable Reptile room? Who know, I might be able to get some ideas for the future from yours! :D
Post away!

I had to wait until I was 22 to get my first reptile! Hang in there man!

Really don't have a picture of everything in my ball room. Here are a few.
The adult racks:

I'm going to be ordering another of these racks soon because I'm going to run out of space.
One of the baby racks, that is now starting to fill up with hatchlings:

Incubator before eggs and before setup for the season (and before installing second fan and backup thermostat):
http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/q...s/DSC00878.jpg
As you can see, I'm a big fan of everything being on castors. Even the humidifier and space heater are on wheels so they can be moved easily for cleaning the floor. Our adolescent racks and RBI baby racks are all on wheels as well. There is a lot more to the room (work table, deep sink, supply shelves, other racks) but this gives you a pretty good idea of what our ball room looks like.

As of right now our collection we don't have a dedicated reptile room until we save up enough to buy a house. For right now our collection will be our room mates.

Re: Your reptile room!
Here is my current setup - nothing fancy but does the job.

Of course my reptile room is a complete shambles since we are cleaning and feeding before we leave for vacation. I'm gonna have to take pics later. But we have well over 100 reptiles.

Re: Your reptile room!
Ooo, they're all so nice! Even the dog.....wait no, it's not a reptile! >:( Haha

No Pictures, but is is my whole dinning room now.

I only have 2 corns, but I voted 5-10 because I have a rack for 5 snakes. I'm going to fill it up pretty fast.

LOL, no...my husband & I just have a lot of blood pythons. It's how we met, in fact. We exclusively use AP racks for our critters. :)

Really nice. I hope to do the same with a variety of snake species, but it probably costs a lot of money to do haha.
What size are the tubs for the adult racks?
-
Re: Your reptile room!
The tubs are 52" long x 20" wide x 12" tall. The racks are approx. 72" tall x 21" wide x 53" deep...huge & heavy.

Nice! Do you know model of AP rack you used for them?
-
Yes...the VE-175 rack. My husband Ryan had a lot of input on the original design (specifically for use with bloods & STPs), so we're pretty keen on them. We live about 40 minutes from AP's shop. *Amazing* operation they have going on, I tell ya what! :)
-
Re: Your reptile room!
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

Re: Your reptile room!
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!

Re: Your reptile room!
The tubs. :) Pricing on the racks is in the ballpark of $875, IIRC.
-
The subs and adults. Gonna need to build more soon;)
http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h1...-54-10_244.jpg
Hatchling rack, got 5 of mine in there and waiting to hatch out 3 more.
This is an old pic so the names on the tubs are almost a year old now LOL

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!
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5469/7...5e5140ac_k.jpg
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.

Re: Your reptile room!
I dont have enough room in any 1 part of my house for my racks. I have some in my bedroom, some in our family room (pet area in our house),some in 1/2 of my sons room (the room was too large anyway) and a couple more in my other sons room!

Re: Your reptile room!
