    Where do you keep your herps? (poll)

    Hello guys,
    As my snake collection grows (I'm up to 5 in less than a year) and as we start the process of looking to buy a house (moving from an apartment). I was curious about where everyone keeps their snakes (i.e. what location in or outside your house). I hope I gave enough options in the poll and mods, feel free to move this if I put it in the wrong place.

    I listed "Other" Currently they are in my office, however as my lizard collection grows and the large cages that are required to keep them, racking systems are not an option. I am currently converting my garage into a reptile room/man cave. I have installed insulated garage doors, threshold seals as well as new door seals all the way around to prevent critters, bugs, water and wind from getting in. I plummed a heat/AC vent into the wall so I can control temps. Installed a deep sink in the laundry room (in garage) I am installing rubber flooring so my lizards can free roam (supervised).

    My room. Currently have an apartment with roommates. I have two stacked T8's in the living room because my room is way too tiny. In my room I have rat rack, snake rack, and extra tubs with snakes. Hoping for a house and reptile room this year

    2 Locations, bonus room above the garage entirely dedicated to snakes, and some in the office as well.

    I live in a basement apartment, which consists of a bedroom attached to a large living room and the snakes are spread out in the living area, though I'm planning on turning one of the two closets in the bedroom area into a quarantine space now that I've decided to actively expand my collection. Add all the reptiles to the fact that my collection of animal skulls is in the living room also, and I have my own security system called "The Creep Factor" ;D
