    Wall of ATBs
    My wall of ATBs! I'll use this thread for update photos over time.

    We recently moved (pardon the unpacking mess) and getting everyone set up in new areas. Still have a snake room but spread a few out into the house which is nice (no more cramped snake room!). Got all the heat set up last night for these guys and pretty happy with how it looks so far. Still tweaking some cage decor and such.

    nice! a wall of ATB's and reptiles is alot better than watching most TV.

    BTW how do u like the ZooMed and other glass enclosures for arboreal snake keeping?

    It's illegal in CA to collect driftwood without permission or unless posted. The wood I use is grapevine I've bought at various reptile shows over the years. The perches are either wooden dowels or pvc pipe (which I heated and twisted).
    I really like these shelving units, picked them up at home depot for $75/ea and the shelves are 4x2.

    Good price, esp with an RHP! They are BARRS cages (herpcages.com) but sadly Doug and his wife recently closed shop, now they are sold by PMherps and JPMreptilia (for 25-50% more than what Doug charged) :(
    These are all 10 or more years old and held up really well and are very lightweight. I love them. The glass tank is a big exoterra.

    I don't. haha I may switch out that glass tank for an AP down the line. She's been in it for over 15 years though and we make it work.

    once everyone is settled in and had a few meals in the new set up, I'll get some glammor shots of the demon noodles added to the thread. Most everyone is still stressed over the move and staying in hides right now.

    Awesome wall! However, I like your "Demon Noodles" term for them!

    They scare the crap out of me. Hmmmm, beautiful, but not super friendly, not really handleable, and oh yeah, no venom, but let's give them fangs anyway!

    NOPE! I like to handle my animals and prefer to go the bathroom, well, in the bathroom!

    Amen to you for keeping them and I am sure they are gorgeous. When I come over, I'll observe the Demon Noodles from a distance, although definitely want to see the rest of your incredible collection!

    Mazel Tov on the move and keep us posted!

    Can't wait, that is the one species along with GTP I would own just to take picture of them all day.

    Thanks, to clarify, I don't own though, just rent. Huge upgrade over the 2 bedroom apartment I had in the ghetto in CA though! It did take over a year and a half to find a home for rent in this small town that would allow my 2 cats plus all of our reptiles. It was harder to find a place that would accept the cats in fact! :)

    Climbing the ladder takes steps!

    Must have been a nightmare finding someone who would allow cats, let alone a reptile collection!

    However, glad it is all working out and keep chugging forward. I hope you reach your dreams and goals.

    Everyone seems to be getting settled in and used to the activity of being out in the main living area, all of them ate which is wonderful!
    Here is some garden goodness to share:

    Eponine, she was born 12/25/01 and my very first ATB, I got her when she was 2 months old. Isn't she adorable sleeping?

    Maegwin, classic garden, got a tongue flick! Surprisingly hard to capture. She's the sweetest one I have and the least likely to bite.

    Finally Fenris, unsexed garden tiger, posing like a doofus, silly little one!

    I really need to take glamour shots but for now you'll have to settle for mediocre in cage shots with my phone. Took these last night, most everyone was still sleeping.

    Recently upgraded the ones that were in the 12x16 small cages into some new AP arboreal 18" cubes (and also changed out that glass exoterra finally!)
    I went with white to keep the look consistent and sliding glass doors. These things are quite a bit heavier than the herpcages but I like them quite a bit so far.
    Of course some of the ATBs already getting their repti-prime bedding in the door track lol

    Wow, the wall of death looks awesome &all your snakes are as lovely as ever! Just got back into breeding corallus, had to take about a 10 year hiatus until my youngest got old enough to have a house full of demon noodles again lol. I am disappointed that the alliance seems to have fizzled out &figured you may know best out of anyone that is still in the game but do you know where Heinrich went or why he is not around or doing the alliance any more?

    Glad to see you are still in it to win it!
    Take care,
    Miles.
