Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Our new facility is finally finished and we are all moved in!
The whole facility has its own furnace that is set too 83. It has a tempature alarm in the main room and in the incubator room so if the temps go to low or to high it calls us. We have a fully working sink with hot and cold water, we also have a fully working refrigerator and freezer. Also we have a walk in incubator for ball python eggs!
Here are some pics.
Enjoy

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Nice.....I am setting up a new snake room. I really like the walk in incubator, will you tell me how you hooked the helix up to control a heater with a amp draw higher than the helix rating of 500 watts?
I am looking at a 30 amp mercury contact relay with a 120v coil. I am sure that will work. just trying to get ideas from other people.
I asked this in another thread and so far no help.

And dave763 our helix doesnt work on that radiator it keeps blowing the fuse so we need to find a new thermostat.
Hope everyone is having a great season!

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Nice looking setup.
Was this a room built in to your parent's barn?
-
Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
To answer your question johnnj, we moved into our house and the barn was allready built it was 1700 square feet so we got it all concreted and finished of so that 3/4 of the barn was for snakes and 1/4 was for my dads business!
-
Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Really nice!
Question: I noticed Ralph Davis uses those bars to lock tubs in too. Has anyone had a snake push out without these bars?

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Hey to answer your question we put those bars on the front because we bought the melamine pre cut and the tubs barely fit so we just put those just in in case!

I am thinking of using this relay to carry the load(of the heater) and control it with the helix.Coil Voltage @50/60 Hz 120 VAC Coil Current Rating 106 mA, hardly any load at all on the thermostat since it only has to energize the coil.You have to be able to handle a little wiring.Looks like it would work ok to me.

I have had my mojave get out a couple times cuz he could get his head out just enough to slide the tub out but that was the only one I have ever had issues with. And had to rig up something similar.
And Nick, very nice setup.

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Thanks again everyone Dave we actually are thinking of calling helix and buying a 1500 watt helix since we arnt actually the best at wiring but we might have the electrician who did the wiring for the whole barn take a look at it. Thanks again everyone we cant wait until the incubators full.

Actually a bigger danger is having a snake get loose, crawling around behind the tubs to find heat and pushing out a whole ROW of tubs from behind. Now you have several snakes loose. This is also a very good reason to have photographic records of all of your snakes.
Nick, that's a great looking facility. Congrats on your new place.

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Now thats a facility :gj:.
-
Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Very nice!!! I wish I could get post-it's to stay stuck to my tubs. Ever since I went with ambient room humidity the post-it's don't work.
-
Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Yeah we've noticed as humidity went up the sticky notes fell off, the post its are only for now as we havnt boughten the Degei Program yet. The problem with our big room is that humidity is hard to raise in Colorado so it's low until we get a humidifier built into the furnace.

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Place looks great, congrats!

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Yeah they can and it can be a bit expensive but we think its worth every penny.
-
Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Awesome awesome snake shop!!
Just outta curiosity, with the costs of the building and overhead expenses, do you anticipate that you'll break even or make profits soon? I'm always interested in peoples' stories about how they expand...

Re: Our New Facility!!**Pics**
Looks like a great facility!
