Tim we just moved into a house with a really nice almost 500 sq foot garage at the back of the property. Can I kidnap you for the rehab LOL.

Seriously though, Mike and I have talked about turning it into a combined ball python/rat raising building. My biggest concern (other than adding in ventilation and heating of course) is security. Not only from a human breaking in but also some sort of alarm system that would let me know in the main house if there was a sudden drop in temps in the snake house. Any comments on that with a fully seperate building?

Also I see that metal rack thingy you have with the big rats in it. Are those seperate metal cages on each shelf or did you somehow take a regular metal storage rack and change it into a rat rack? Looks pretty interesting.
