    My snakeroom
    I just felt like snapping some pics tonight, so I thought I’d show you guys my snake set up.

    First here’s some shots of my adult rack and my freshly build hatchling rack. They’ve got the patented RDR conduit pipe on the front to prevent push outs.

    As you can see here I have their record cards beside the tubs on the adult rack, and underneath the tubs on the hatchling rack.

    Here’s a close up of the record card, which is pretty much a carbon copy of Ralph’s (Sorry Ralph, you just do things so awesome I HAVE to copy you!). I have them in a magnetic photo sleeve, I guess meant to hold a picture on a fridge or something. On the back of each one I have a picture of the snake it belongs to.

    Here’s a shot of one of the hatchling tubs (6qt Rubbermaid shoeboxes). Its got a ramekin water dish, and a styrofoam bowl hide. I also found these little deli cups that fit perfectly in the ramekins.

    Only the best for my snakes!

    My stash of deli cups.

    My supply shelf, don't mind the wad of cash, just getting ready for the next expo. (so what, I can go crazy with a label maker if I want to!)

    Where I keep new, and old record cards.

    My roll of unprinted newspaper.

    And last but not least, here’s me, looking proud at where I’ve managed to get after only being in the hobby about a year and a half.

    How are the ramkins working out for you? I've never thought about using those for water dish holders before.

    Beautiful room! I try to get organized like that - but then everything ends up in a jumble. But I am inspired now to do better when I move into my new room!!

    Are the ramekin's 7oz? What size deli cups are they? That is a great idea. I should have around 50-60 hatchlings this year, and am looking for water bowls. Thanks in advance. BTW, nice setup...

    Im not sure how many oz's the ramekins are, i use 3 different sizes. I'll check the size of the cups on the package and get back to you. Now if only I could find bigger cups that will fit in the bigger ramekins.

    I'm starting to build my own rack this weekend and you've given me some great ideas:D

    Are you controlling the warm and cool side with the helix? Or just one side?
