I know, but the only "viv" I have is for my Florida king. And I'm not gonna put him in with the others because well, he eats other snakes. He has killed two that the breeder I got him from tried mating him to.

Once I get some other things I have on the list (carpet, Burmese, boas), I will have more vivs. But the ball pythons are a project, not just pets so I will keep them in what I know they thrive in. Tubs.

No worries .... I saw a message in TapaTalk saying you could have more rubs so I just thought I'd put a word in for Vivs :)

Pretty room! I wish I had a big room like that to myself... I have a snake room, but it's just not very big. =P

My daughter asked for a ball python for Christmas last year after our last ball python passed away a couple years prior. Having had balls and boas for a long time, we decided to go all out. Here is a picture of our main snake room. All but one of the tubs is occupied. Three others are in more of a display type case in my daughter's bedroom. And we have a quarantine rack in yet another room. No telling if or when we will stop.

The room is separately heated from the rest of the house, so hot spots are controlled with heat tape on the back panels. A humidifier keeps the humidity at 55%-70%.

The two racks on the right are adults in CB70 tubs. I also have an additional rack cut and ready to assemble. The rack on the left are Rubbermaid 28qt (I think) - yearlings and hatchlings

1.1 DH Ghost Pied
0.2 Bumblebee
0.3 Normal (Two Dinkers)
0.2 Pastel
0.2 Het Genetic Stripe
1.0 Genetic Stripe
0.1 Pastel Genetic Stripe
1.2 Fire
0.1 Spider
1.0 Pastel Mojave
1.0 Clown
0.1 Het Clown
0.1 VPI Axanthic
0.1 Pastel Enchi
1.0 Killer Blast
0.1 Orange Dream
1.0 Het Clown (waiting for new home at Christmas at friend's house)
1.0 Spider Het Clown

My snake room and my home office are one and the same. Since I work from home I get to hang out with the snakes all day. This was a late night session I spent with my POG. You can see most of my set up in the background. There's another tub rack and other right side and my hatchling rack on the opposite wall.

Cool Dave! Anyway you could snap a pic of the entire room? Like a panoramic or something? Looks great!

Here are some photos of my current setup that is constantly changing and I keep having multiple issues to work through as I'm sure does everyone else LOL.

I just moved my rodents out of all of these glass aquariums, it was a ton of work every single day. Just this week I moved them into a rodent rack, so much easier! The only problem now is the smell LOL. Especially the mice. I had them in aquariums with carbon filters on the top and that had no smell at all. Now that they are in the rack they smell bad. And they can't really reach the food or water so I have to put wooden blocks that get real dirty. It's the same with my African Soft Fur Rats. Not sure this rack is really designed for mice, although they are breeding and thriving. Also see the extra water bottles I put in there for the mice, the small mice didn't seem to be using the water nipples in the rack system.

One problem I was having was that I had my rodents on pine bedding from the feed store. I had a dead rat almost every day that I was pulling out of my glass tanks. When I moved over to this rack I switched to shredded paper and all the deaths stopped! I found out later that untreated pine chips, especially when really dusty like I was using, is lethal to rats.

To get cut down on the smell I use an air cleaner with a carbon filter, I'm thinking of actually enclosing the sides and back of the rodent rack keeping the front open and put the air filter on one side so all the air is filtered before it goes into the room. I'm going to try to build something out of cardboard first to see if it works and then maybe do a permanent enclosure with wood. To feed from the back I'll just pull the whole rack forward and out of the enclosure.

The other option is to just get rid of all my mice and ASF and stick with rats. I have enough pinkys to freeze and keep my smaller snakes happy for months. Maybe I'll just buy the mouse pinkys and use this setup for rats only, which is what it was designed for.

The rodent rack is an ARS rat breeder (partial stack) and the snake rack is an ARS-7030 on top and an ARS-8018 on the bottom. I'm using Reptichip in the snake rack changing it every 6 weeks or so, and using shredded paper from work for the rodents. I'm feeding the rodents Mazuri rodent blocks.

The rodent rack holds 75 pounds of feed (the feed smells too!) and 5 gallons of water. So they can really go all week long without having to feed or water, I just change out the bedding twice a week and check on them every day or two to make sure they are all alive and well!

Tomorrow I'm actually going to build an enclosure for my rat rack out of lumber and plywood and run my air cleaner on one side to pull out and filter the air coming from the rack. I just cleaned out every single tub today and changed up my bedding, I put down several layers of newspaper followed by three handfuls of aspen wood chips covered with shredded paper. Seems like the wood chips keep the smell down a bit more, in fact right after the cleaning it actually smelled good LOL. When I had my mice in glass tanks with carbon filters there was no smell at all in the room, I'm hoping I can get to that point by filtering all the air around the rack. It's so much easier cleaning the tubs than it is cleaning those glass tanks.
