New racks set up

I finally got the racks I picked up at the Newport News show setup in my snake room. My snakes room is almost complete. Now I just have to replace the heat tape in two 11 high 41qt racks in my garage. They will replace the single 8 stack of 41qt tubs. Don't really look forward to that because those 11 high racks are heavy and a beast to work with. After that I'm out of room so I'm done. Feel free to post pictures of your setups.

Looks great. I use to be a I've got to see my animals all the time. Joe got me a rack and I've never looked back.

Man that's amazing looking!! I wish I had a snake room. ONE DAY.

But seriously, though, looking good.

I have a couple things in a few other places but this is the bulk of it.

I had burms before I went back to the balls. Racks were one of the big draws to get back into ball pythons. When I get the last two racks in here I will have housing for 110 balls of varying sizes. With burms I could house 4 maybe 6 in the same space.

Nice setup! Here's mine.

Adult set up, with hold back rack at the end:



Another baby rack for those that are for sale:

And, my extra rodent setup:

don should not be allowed to post anymore pics....they make me feel bad


all look great

I wish I had a basement. My racks are in my snake room/home office. I keep my rats in a seperate outside building.

wish i had shed for rats...i keep mine in garage

I tried that but garage leads into one of the living rooms and the smell was rough when you were sitting around watching TV.

I see kermit and elvis

Can't forget the master chief!

I couldn't remember who that was. And that guy didn't cut them mustard. You a big player of halo?

Man this thread is killing me. Amazing set ups, guys!

This is all very intimidating...

Especially Don's setup, oh man..

I'll have my rodent shed done by spring next year and it'll be running no matter what the weather's like outside..

And then i'll feel comfy enough to post some pictures..

OMG. Are you kidding? These set ups are just crazy. Why do you guys want, or need so many? And how many rats do you go through to feed them all?

breeders

That is some serious work there. I was getting happy about my room becoming a reptile room, but I will have like 15 animals! They all look great though

I normally have 40-60 snakes at any given time. That # jumps to well over a 100 when eggs start hatching. I go through 50-100 rats a week of varying sizes depending on the time of year. I breed my own rats in the little shed pictured above. It costs me about 100-125 bucks a month to run my rat setup. I guess I'm considered a breeder but it's really just a hobby.

Holy cow. I had no idea you guys were THAT into your reps. I mean, I knew you guys owned a lot of then, but i had no idea they numbered into the triple digits. That's some serious stuff there.

I reckon since everyone else is posting pic's I'll fallow suit after the new rack/rack's get in and everything is set up... should be another week or less...

Yeah, nice rack setup Don! I REALLY want to get a new ARS rack, but they're so expensive... but they seem to be the best quality and most durable, and durable is important because I move around a lot. Are you happy with them?

I also like Zues's rodent shed setup, well done!

I love them. Yes, they are expensive, but if you keep a snake for many years it works out over the long run. PVC Saggs after a few years and has to be replaced. With steel racks all you need to do is occasionally replace a tub.

Oops. I don't why my post went up twice. I guess that means I'm double impressed.

I use the PVC because I don't have a dedicated reptile building. The PVC tends to hold heat and humidity better because they are closed on three sides. My snakes are kept in my snake room/home office and in the winter the temps are in the high 60s. Some of racks are about 10 years old and still going strong. If you have PVC make sure you keep tubs in every slot to help prevent sagging. If I had a building for my snakes that I had better control of the heat and humidity I would definitely have ARS or FB racks. I agree with Don that the initial investment is worth every penny in the long run.

My set up is not at the level yet of these, but my bedroom is quite enjoyable...

Racks are 10 slot 28 qt racks and a 8 slot 41 qt rack Incubator is sitting up on a nightstand had to move it to get the 41 qt rack in... smfh it was a job getting it into the room but it's in now LMAO.... in the next week or 2 I'm picking up a 8 slot 41 qt AP rack as well....

And the newest NON SNAKE addition I picked from a friend who could no longer take proper care of him due to his work schedule....

Don't mind the mess in the reptile room I was in there all day moving and cleaning things... BTW when I come to this thread and look at some the setups... I can say yup that's where I want to be in 2 years looking at y'alls set-ups... They all look Great!!

Don' yours look super sweet or it may be that I've seen your set up Love those racks
Zues the all black is where it's at... I prefer the black over white...
Nick you already know I love them Boamaster's.... just the weight issue Reason I went to PVC cages.... plus I needed bigger cages... LOL

I just have to figure something out bout rats now....
