    For your rat racks are those just 2x2s painted black?

    Hey guys,
    I notice some of you keep you rat racks next to your snake racks. Does this make it more difficult to handle your animals with the scent of rodent in the air? My carpet and retic would get me everytime if I did that! Beautiful set ups. Thanks for the photos.

    Doesn't mean she can't smell them. ;)

    I know some people pre-scent a room before feeding to get a better feeding response from their snakes, so I'm also curious about people who have rats and snakes in the same room.

    I have all my snakes and rats in the same 8x8 room I have no problems with any snake. Even with them smelling them or anything. I have over 100 rats next to my snakes they dont care. They eat most weeks some will take weeks off like snakes do.
    Add: I can also handle ant time with out issues except my spider girl is the devil. But she came with a devil past an heart.

    I LOVE the hatchlings racks and the one with 15/32 quarts tubs, they are very sturdy yet light weight and since my room is anywhere between 76 and 86 degrees they are the perfect racks for that room, the one with 41 quarts tubs however it's too wobbly for my taste which is why that´s the only one I have.

    Yeah they're what I plan on buying. My room runs between 77-84°f. I don't want full sided racks. I like being able to look in the side of the tubs and see my balls without opening the tubs.

    Is that a 40br for your cali king? They like to burrow but it looks like those rock spots are good for hiding. Mine is in a 40br with about 3-4 inches of aspen for him to burrow in.

    Yup, sure is. I got him as a skinny tiny rescue, and I'm busy putting some meat on him. He's actually 5, but you'd never know it...So I'm sure he'll grow into it. But a 20l would be plenty suitable, lol Seriously.

    He loves his eco earth, and does plenty of tunneling through it. :D His favorite thing is tunneling under his water dish.

    We have to vacuum the floor a couple times a week to take care of the bedding they knock out, and do a more detailed cleaning once every couple months to keep the dust down. But we live in the desert so it's dusty here in general all the time!

    With our BP's it doesn't effect them at all, except when we move a new animal from QT into the main reptile room. Some will be alittle bit more active/food hunting at first. But no worse than a building female or female who's back on food after laying who wants to come out of the tub looking for food any time you open it!

    Re: show off your tank or racks
    Aw, I never turn down the opportunity to talk about Charlie.

    Charlie's a female Grey's treefrog who lives on my desk. :P They're a native north american species. Last summer she snuck into my bathroom in my old trailer back in KS and never left. All summer and fall she ate bugs in the bathroom around the light, and slept during the day in the overflow drain in the bathtub. Well, fall turned into winter and she'd been with us for months, part of our family so to speak, so no one ever thought of kicking her outside. Then in the middle of winter we moved out of the trailer, and I scooped her up and she went with us. And now we're in California, and she's still here. My desk is a far cry from her free-range in the bathroom, but I still feed her her bugs, and she seems happy. :P

    Her iherp-

    http://www.iherp.com/HerpTrack/MyAni...nimalID=126090

    She's got two pictures on there, one of her grey phase, and one of her dark green/mossy phase. She's bright green right now, though. She seems to stay grey in the winter mostly, and bright green in the summer, depending on her mood. If you look closely at the pic of her tub I just posted, you can see her in the very middle, facing the camera on her branch.

    I know, right? They should definitely be easier to find CB in the pet trade. If I ever get back to KS, I'm seriously thinking about finding myself a male I like, and breeding her.

    Edit: Or maybe I should learn to get the name right first...:oops:
