New Set-up

I finished my new rack for my females today, it holds 12, 61 quart tubs. It’s heated with 12 inch THG heat tape, and a VE-200 thermostat.
Here’s a pic:

It’s the one on the left.

Sitting next to it is my 15, 32 quart tub rack that I built over the summer. It’s heated by 6 inch THG heat tape, and another VE-200 thermostat. This one is being used for my males who will stay in 32 quart tubs, and females who are still on the smaller side until they get big enough to be moved over.
I love having all the new storage space, and this room is now truly the “snake room”. I may get a small freezer to put on the other side of the room. As certain people don’t like having frozen rats by the human food.
Thanks for looking!

That really is a hot set up! So clean and organized :gj:

Wish I was handy enough to build racks. Getting ready to order my first set myself.

Looks very nice, good job

Nice job with those racks

Thanks for all the compliments! I'm looking forward to filling these empty spaces up.

Awesome set up!
BTW is It really too bad keep frozen rats next to humans food?

I agree really really nice set up :) love how organized it is and the little section for stuff up top.

And to answer your question No it's not bad. I was thinking and it's not really that much different from storing pork or steaks or whatever in your freezer. Those animals were killed to be food for us and the rodents are killed to be food for snakes, both are the frozen meat of an animal and both have risk for carrying disease/bacteria. So there's not that much difference in my eyes. Your more likely to get sick eating a jar of peanut butter than getting sick from the food in your freezer that the frozen feeders are close to.

Can you add a picture how your tubs are setup at each size you use

I wasn’t expecting my two month old thread to be brought back to life. I’m honored! I’m also glad you guys like my setup! I’m in the midst of saving for a pair of piebalds so my snake purchasing has come to a halt. Here are the pictures you requested. I hope this is what you wanted: http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4ee8fa97.jpg Big tubs for the ladies. http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...psbe73705c.jpg http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8a8575fd.jpg And the 32 quarts for the males.

What temp do you heat the room in to keep the ambient warm enough? I am in the process of buliding something similar since 20 long and 40 long tanks are not a option for a apartment.

To be honest, I don't heat the room itself. Although it stays at around 75 degrees year round.

The tubs on the other hand are all heated to 87 degrees on the hotspot, and the cool is around 82. Never had an issue with those temps.

Really nice looking setup...great job! :gj:
