Many years ago I moved all of my animals into our laundry room (had a surprise midget on the way so needed the bedroom) and the laundry room worked extremely well. I mounted a shelf above the washer and dryer where I put my 4' enclosures, had 2 racks along a wall and a 3rd rack that was mobile... (yeah it was a good size laundry room). Had no problems with any changes in any of the animals (had boas, ball pythons and kenyans all in there at the time.)
