Oh dear oh dear. I really do love Nathan!
My boyfriend currently works at Subway, though he's applying day and night at other places to get a better job. But for now, it really worked out quite nicely! His store was dumping out one of their shelving units in the back that was used for holding the sauces and food. It's a toolless build and the shelves can slide up and down the sides freely--making it so it could be short enough to perfectly hold tubs for the snakes, or even something like a 20 gallon tall. It's made of some strong metal too, so even heavy stuff doesn't make it bend or sag.
It's old and a bit dirty, but we are planning on painting and sealing it so it looks nicer anyway. I'm sort of excited. The whole thing is 6 ft tall and about as wide as a 20 gallon long and there are 6 levels to it that are removable. It also has holes in the back, the perfect size to run wires through--for heating even! So it looks like we now have the perfect place to hold all the animals, mealworms, supplies, and future purchases!
I was shocked Nathan got it home, but that's all because it can be completely torn down and put back together(by hand!). He was able to fit it into his very small car. Kind of awesome and lucky.
