My wife and I remodeled a room in our basement and have been moving everything down the last few days. It was a pain in the ass, but I think it was worth it. I'm loving all the space. Lets me have ALOT more room to let the retics cruise around a bit more often on the floor. So, anyways.. this is now our snake room / office for our design / programming business:

This is a couple of the big cages. I've got a couple more in another room. I don't want to move them yet.. it's a pain in the ass, and they will be breeding this year. I don't want to disturb them yet.

From a different angle. These enclosures have 0.1 Tiger Retic, 1.0 Albino Tiger, 0.1 Super Dwarf Retic, 1.0 Black Blood, 1.1 ATB, 0.1 JCP

This is the Tiger in the bigger cage. She just recently out grew this cage and I am building a bigger one for her.

Hatcling rack I built. It's got 1 row that has belly heat and the rest are heated by back heat. I did this so I can run the one row on a different stat and keep my wife's corns in the top row. It's been working great for us so far. I plan to do the edges with melamine edging, I just haven't gotten around to it.

This other smaller rack has our hatchling boas in it. The tub on top of it has a pair of balls in it that are locked up at the moment. I have the other adult rack in the other room with the other tics.

Thanks guys. There's lots more room now. I just figured I'd on;y take pics of stuff thats actually down here, though. I still have to move the cresties and the monitor down here too. But, yeah.. More space, time for more reptiles. I have an amel tiger retic coming in a couple weeks and another lesser.

Christian, how do you like those visions? I'm thinking of getting rid of them and replacing them with a stack of AP's. I wouldn't mind the visions, it's just the lip on the inside where the snakes seem to like to wedge themselves, which makes it virtually impossible to get them out. Plus, that's where they seem to like to poop.

Also, I'll be posting pics of alot of my collection in the appropriate forums today. So, you guys will be able to see some of the tic's in the tic area.

Wow great lookin setup there man! I'm hoping once I move to a new place closer to school we can find something with either a basement that can be used for snakes or some extra space to put all the racks and cages lol. If I can get a big enough place you can be damn sure I'll be getting a tic or a burm lol. NERD has an awesome looking Tiger right now for $200 about 9 foot long and just a boootiful snake :lol:

thanks. I still haven't gotten around to getting everything finished up. It's been really crazy around my house lately. My dad died a week or so ago, so there's been family here, and my mom decided to move in for a while. I had to move the monitor into a smaller cage just so I could move him into that room for now. I'll get some more pics once everything is "organized".
