need a snake room but don't have the space!

well then i have the answer for you... well at least the answer for me!

this is perfect. this room is the same one which has my mosaic (stained glass) which i posted a thread on in the creative corner of bp.net.

it also has one of my 135g tanks... and my shrine room for my buddhist mediations...

and now... it's also a snake room! we have this nice big closet and don't need all of it... it was a complete closet with lower hanging sections and shelves to the floor in the centre. we took out the bottom shelves, raised on shelf up and VOILA we have a closet AND and snake room!

i'll keep the doors open in the summer and closed in the winter to keep in the warmth. i think it's going to work out perfectly. once the top shelf is put onto the rack... we'll have room for all our ball pythons and an extra for later *hint hint*

:D
enjoy!

looks like a nice room. i would love to have a whole room for my snakes, but right now thats not possible. i was thinking of emptying out my closet and using it, but where to put all the clothes :)?

That looks awesome!
You really have a knack for dressing things up, too! I was born without that gene, you should see how stark my house is. Except for the shrine to Elvis.

thanks sarah... my home is lacking a shrine to elvis... :rainon:

Nice work, looks great!

Awesome! Creative use of space = a talent that many lack.

Every home should have an Elvis shrine! Or does that rule only apply to the south?

Sarah, sit down dear I've terrible news to impart to you. Now try not to panic or lay blame but....

Haha, that is truly sad! So was she duly impressed when she did go? He was an amazing guy who accomplished a lot more than most people know. I really want to go again and tour the planes.

Well, to be honest, mine kind of just "happened", and has become a running joke amongst my friends. I collect tins, and since I do love Elvis, I had a couple of Elvis tins already. Then we went to Graceland since we were visiting friends in Memphis, and picked up some more tins there. Also got a pic of us done. Then a neighbor came over, saw all my Elvis stuff and said "hey, I have some Elvis photo books that would go great here!". She brought them over, and ta-da! Instant shrine!

I leave it all there because it's funny, and I *really* don't have any decorating skills. Oh, and because I love Elvis :cool:

So yeah, you see why I raved over your lovely home? lol

Yea, no idea either here...but apparently she was hoarding them...so they must be good. :D

Oh yeah, it's very yummy. It's kinda like a mojito, only made with (GOOD) bourbon instead of rum, and served in a frosty glass.

Im lost still..mojito? I think i have mojito bites on my legs...we went to the lake the other day. :P

same here... we have a lot of mojitos right now... they carry west nile virus yuuuuck.

Man, y'all are deprived...

Ok, for a Mojito, crush some fresh mint leaves, sugar, and half a lime in a glass. Add club soda and Bacardi, mix and serve with a sprig of mint garnish. Can also be made with flavored rums....awesome drink!

Pretty much the same for a Mint Julep...you have to start with a mint syrup, though. You make that by boiling sugar and water together, add some bruised mint leaves, and refrigerate over night. To make the julep, you get a frosted glass, fill with crushed ice (I always go with Sonic ice), then use about 1 1/2 tsps of the syrup with each ounce of (GOOD!) bourbon. Garnish with mint leaf :D

Oh God I LOVE mojitos, it's the only booze that gives you fresh breath! :D

hahaha...well, let me know when the next one is! :D

I will!

So we've gone from snake racks to Elvis to Mojitos.

sounds like a productive day to me!!!

so is it kinda like a margarita?

Except with no Jose (who is a friend of mine). Or Triple Sec. Or salt. hehe

no Jose? well then I'm sorry but I can NOT partake. Jose and I are very close and I never do any drinking without him.

*turns on heel and leaves the room*

Haha, I lub Jose, but trust me girl...if you haven't had a primo Kentucky Bourbon, you have not yet lived!

I've got a bottle of Jim Beam - is that good or bad? I have a half bottle of jack too but thats from the wrong state apparently.



dr del

Jim Beam is considered to be a premium Kentucky Bourbon, but they also make Booker's, which is one of the BEST. See if you can find some of that :)
