Look What I Did Over The Weekend!

Well I got the ok from the wife to turn a former storage room which was in the garage into my snake room. It is 14' deep and 5' wide.

Heres what I started with (NASTY)

Next came the "tile", stick on 12x12s that looks like real tile

A couple coats of Gliden paint (wall on right is plaster/stucco thats why it looks blotchy)

I also added a new florescent light strip (not pictured)

I will be adding an AC/Heat vent this week and maybe some white baseboard.

When you walk in, the back wall will fit the ARS-7030 nicely and the wall on the left will be able to hold the ARS hatchling rack. No room for a sink but Ill take what I can get for now.

Looks like a great transformation! Can't wait until I get my own herp room!

Better than what i have...
my computer room/Guest bedroom/snake room that is...
ha
and QT animals... my bedroom or the game room...

lucky...

Looks great! Wish I had a little space in my house to do something like this!

I thought about picking up an 8'x10' storage shed and converting it to a small "snake house" for a starter, but not sure if that would work well or not...

Post more pics as you progress with your project, I'm sure everyone will like to see how it turns out! :gj:

looks like it will be a great little snake room. I've already been informed that my snakes are going into the basement :( So now the "they will go down when you fix it up" debate is on! keep us posted on the progress.

Your hired! :D Looks great...You gotta keep pix coming!

Ah, so that's what empty space looks like...I'd forgotten.

Good looking area there, keep it up. :)

Lookin good! Why not instead of installing a vent, try an oil filled heater on a ranco?...it would be easier to control the heat that way.

Hey congrats it makes things so much easier to have dedicated room for them. I hope you enjoy your as much as I do mine

Looks like you have a great start. Please keep us updated.

I currently have this setup now and will move into the room as well since we like to keep the a/c around 76 and those cool nights it gets cooler. The vent wil just keep the heater from running constanty.

Pics as of today, current rack is 2 Reptile Basics 32qt. I plan on picking up an ARS 7030 in Daytona which will end up taking that back wall completely up. On the left side will eventually be an ARS hatchling rack.

The storage bin I got at home depot and is awesome, I may add a wall mount unit too.

Lookin good man!

I'm looking to buy a house right now that has a room similar in size to that.. you have inspired me to turn it into a snake room! If I end up with this house and snake room I think it will be time to get a rack so I can greatly EXPAND my collection! :D
