A local pet store, was around $10.60 after taxes

Here is my current setup...I have decided to renovate it to make more room for more bps....so I will probably have something different in a month or so.

that's cool! What are you using for heat?

1' strips of 11'' flewwatt on each level all run to a ranco thermostat. I also have two lamps w/ black reptile lights that are hooked to the thermostat to keep the ambient closet temp up 24/7. I just moved this setup into my new apt. and it is working great.....keeps the closet air temp at about 82.....and the warm side of each enclosure 94....cool side 84.... and it is really constant too.

Here's mine:

I meant to take some newer pics after I got a stand for it and decorated some but I was lazy... maybe I'll borrow a camera tonight though :) Eleanor seems to like it in there!

That really nice invadertoast, did you make it? what kind of wood is that?

Here's my setup for Shikara.

Here are some of mine...
Goblin; full grown BP. It's roughly 6 feet long, 2 feet wide and 1.5 deep. It has sliding plexi doors in front. It used to be a "?" gallon breeder tank but someone awesome renovated it! I picked it up at a fish-store clearance sale for $50. I use a crappy zoomed ehater/thermostat; I want flexwatt in the worst way. Glass sides and floor; perforated metal top. LB's rubbermaid is on top of it.

vaughn

nice setup vaughn :)

thanks daniel, the problem is i keep adding stuff and have to find new ways to organize or stack up! lol it's always a work in progress.


vaughn

ha ha.....I keep trying to figure out how I can fit more into my extra closet....maybe I should just give up for the next year and wait til I get a house...

Here's my AP cages, 1.1 ball pythons live in those, with the leopard geckos on the bottom:

Yo!

Cool! :) I love seeing all these different setups, it's great for tips on future additions

OK, I'm so drooling over everyone's set ups! How I would one day love to have racks (i.e., be breeding).


For now, I'm going to work on getting it right with Kashmire. I'm still too new to the game (although I've been bit hard by the bug) to think about breeding yet.

I have a lot more to learn before I get to that point!

Thanks all for posting your pics so far!

Okay that's it! I'm running off to live at Vaughn's house!

What brand are those black racks Vaughn? They look great.


~~Joanna~~

thanks joanna, my collection is tiny compared to some. the racks are made by jim sharphorn his site is http://www.coolcrittersbylj.com/id25.htm

they are made like boaphile racks and are a great deal. i can get them ordered/delivered in less than 2 weeks most of the time from jim.

Elevatethis, I like your setup. The cages on top, how much do those run and can you get them? I really like those. What do you heat those with?

They make a lot of quality stuff, any size cage you could want for pretty much any herp.

I have 2 of the T3 model. 36x24x12, sliding acrylic locking doors. It is heated with belly heat cable that is routered into the left 1/3 of the cage, controlled by a thermostat. They really simplify my life in that temps amd humidity stay constant regardless of what my house temp is doing.
