My new Snake/Hot room

So tonight I finally got my new snake room setup! I just moved into a 3 bedroom apt about a week ago; excited to have a dedicated room for them now. Thought I'd post some pics of the setup. Excuse the bad photo quality, I was just using my cell phone, which doesn't do well in sub-par lighting.

The entrance has a keyed lock I installed and I will be putting in weather stripping across the bottom of the door this week to seal off the room. This is so that if, science-forbid, I ever have one of the hots escape it will still be sealed and locked in the room. The room itself has about 2 outlets per wall, which works out very nicely. All lighting in the enclosures are hooked up to a timer.

Hooks, etc, and snakebite protocol. First things in the room.


Snakebite protocol. Number/address of closest hospital as well as Do's and Don'ts of envenomation treatment. Safety first!


Enclosures for False Water Cobra's, Crotes, and my Burm. Found these shop racks at Home Depot. They perfectly fit a boaphile 4'x12" enclosure just inside the 4 corners and hold it in place with about an inch of space between the top and the shelf above it. The things at the bottom of the legs are those little things for moving furniture around. Protects the wood floors, and also makes it super easy to move the enclosures around if I need to.


More enclosures


Entrance, my larger rack.


Green Tree Python, digital scale, etc.


Asian Vine snake, hiding away out of site


Falsies checking me out as I take pictures


A not so happy albino wester diamondback. He really didn't appreciate me moving everything around tonight.


Burm, being the slow moving cattle of a snake he is.


Back of the room, small rack off to the left. Oil Heater and fan behind it, both of those are hooked up to a thermostat in the corner to keep the ambiant room temps ~70-75.


My small rack. Mostly baby crotes, baby bloods, and some hognose snakes. Mister, provent-a-mite, heavy dute welding gloves, and sexing probes on top.


Thats it!

Nice setup, im sure you going to fill up that space in no time

Nice and organised. Very cool Anthony thanks for sharing.

Do you manage to offer a temp gradient in the cages with the heater maintaining an ambient?

There is one thing...
I would remove the space between floor and door with a rail, much more safety, for the case a snakes escapes...

nice work

Fabian

Looks excellent. Good work.

Thanks, Fabian. I'll stop by home depot and look into this

You are welcome! I fixed it like that

Nice! Always good when you can dedicate an entire room for the animals. I didn't see the cool stiped oreganus or the cerastes though, are they in there?

Yep, they are in that white melamine rack with the small side-by-side shoebox tubs. (in the top two tubs to be exact)

exellent job man, congrats

Really nice room you have there!

Awesome. It's coming together pretty good, Anthony!

Yes, the ambiant room temp is ~75-80, and then each enclosure has separate heating elements and are hooked up to thermostats to give them a hot end

is that your room?

nice snakeroom!
