    Snake/reptile room set up in small spaces

    Hi everyone. Could you post some pics of your reptiles and snakes if you have small reptile rooms please, in order to give me hope that it is possible?
    I'm going from a large room which is inhabited by my snakes
    20 snakes balls, corns, russian rat, hognoses and
    geckos 4 exoterras
    Breeding rats and asf
    Large enclosure of 2 beardies which I may put into my pet grooming salon if necessary
    and a few tanks to a smaller 6f by 16ft which is in the process of being built attached to my small business. The snakes are in a rack I built which is huge and has tons of extra space therefore I'm thinking ill have to redo the snake set up. Anyways can you all with small spaces post some pics of your setups please? I'm trying to be positive about this change as our family is growing therefore I don't have a choice but to move things around the last thing I want to do is give up my hobbie therefore compromising is the solution we have come up with. I'm just not in visioning everything fitting into the new place. I'm thinking at this point ill have to downsize a bit weather I like it or not I don't want it to look like a desaster of clutter.
    Thanks for your time

    With a 6'x16' space, you should be able to just run racks down both sides or one side if the racks are deeper. Going higher also works to add space. Maybe stack some?

    Re: Snake/reptile room set up in small spaces

    Currently setting up two racks in my tiny room, so as soon as I set mine up, I'll post pictures! I'll have close to 15 or more ball pythons in tubs by early July, so they'll all be in racks. I have a 15 gal tank now with one of the snakes in it, but I'll be moving him into the racks. It's doable! I'm also getting rid of a big desk to fit them

    Housing the snakes is the easy part, just downsize your rack until you have jsut what you need. Shelves from Lowes can hold the exoterras and maybe move the rat breeding to the garage.

    Here is a pic of how much space I used for the snakes before I deployed. This setup can house up to 18 animals (middle rack can be reconfigured for 6). And, I am actually wasting space here by not just having 2 racks that start at the floor. I have 4 more racks being built right now, but this small/med bedroom will have no problems holding all of that and then some

    Glad I'm not the only one with limited space. I look at the big room they are in and panic hits. Great pics they help a lot with ideas
