New and Improved Reptile Room!

Hi guys, I know I haven't really been around much the past couple months. Just wanted to share my updated reptile room. Will also share some updated pics of my current animals soon, as well as a new secret surprise animal I'm getting in around a month or so when the breeder is confident she's eating well!

I recently broke up with my girlfriend, and that has been pretty painful, and I've been devoting a lot of time to make myself a helluva killer reptile room. It's pretty much done, all I need to really do (besides add more snakes, duh) is get some room-appropriate pictures up on the walls.

I got a stack of T10s that arrived around November, when I was taking pics Sascha was all curious as to what I was up to so had to snap a pic of her.

I noticed a couple months back that I have a wet bar hookup in there, so it was a no brainer that I was putting in a slop sink. Total game changer. No more washing stuff and defrosting rats in the kitchen sink. Access to water nearby is a wonderful thing.

I then decided to remove an old outdoor swing thing and put in a legit couch and added some majesty palms and yuccas to the room. Got a coffee table so I can put all my coffee table books on it lol. Hung up a GnR "Welcomoe to the Jungle" canvas on top of the bay window.

I had my 2 glass tanks on an old dining room table which no longer matched the theme of the room, so that had to go. I ordered Gladiator shelves for the tanks, and moved the 4 foot table I had a Boaphile on next to the sink. That is now my prep station. Eventually the table holding the Vision tank will be replaced by 6-8' shelving when the time arrives to order 6-8' tanks.

Lastly, I put in a small chest freezer (3.5 cu ft, like $150 at best buy). Its beyond wonderful to now have everything in one room. Enjoy!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2e8e060886.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d0a864cd2a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4dd9c76fd3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...65bdb7beb5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3b4485a6f7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...15e455f715.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e7814e0565.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0f972a08e7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b24cb951fe.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6516964b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3310d902d7.jpg

Sorry to hear about your breakup. That’s never easy.

This is a very cool setup! Part of the consideration for my reptile room placement was putting it next to my bathroom...ease of cleanup and thawing are major considerations in my book. I want to upgrade my bathroom sink (1 bath home) and what I have been looking at is a small country style kitchen sink large enough for my biggest water bowls. No more leaning over the tub.

This looks so nice and peaceful! You did a great job.

Thanks for the wishes, it sucks but also a part of life.

Do whatever it takes to have a sink in there if you can, literally a world of difference

Thank you! I generally have coffee in my snake room at like 6am, and lately it really has been beyond peaceful, with the sun coming up behind me and actually having a decent setup in there to relax

Looks great. :gj::gj::gj: I could just chill in there in the quiet for hours. One day, one day. At least my wife is in on a reptile room someday too so one less hurdle to jump.

Wow, very cool!! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great, my dude!!!

Sorry to hear of your breakup. Keep your chin up, my friend.

Very cool, I fear I am years away from a designated room, but I do have a table in a breakfast area that's attached to the kitchen, so water, freezer, and counter space are close by.

IMPRESSIVE!!!

i can’t wait to just chill out in that room. And meet all of the critters !

Haha I actually had to cut into the corners a little bit to get it to sit up there, was about 1/4 inch too long

I only have LEDs in some of the tanks, but hue lighting in the room is a great idea, thanks Ax!

And obviously once it comes it will be moved to a quarantine area, but yes it is ;)
