Mini-Reptile Room

[WAFisherman]

Here is my work in progress. It started as a junk closet under the stairs and down the hallway to the kid's rooms. Just accross the closet is a bathroom that is nice for use of the tub and sink for soaking my beardie and cleaning cages.

I have my water dragon on top in a 4X4X4 area (sloping 45 degree ceiling, so the height in the back is just over a foot). I installed 1/4inch sliding glass doors.

The bottom, for now, is just a 40gal breeder tank for the beardie, and 20 gal tank for the BP (ball python). They fit like a glove in that space.

The next step is to elevate the snake tank about 12 inches on a simple stand. This will provide better viewing, maybe better temps, and allow me to slide in and out the dubia colony hidden behind the snake tank.

I'm working out plans for a better viv for my beardie, but he'll be fine for a while. Since the pics were taken, I have installed a small fountain in the WD area and will be adding some more plants and maybe a filter on the bigger water pan.

Oh, since I have 3 boys who are homeschooled, and a 14 yr old foster daughter, and twin 19mo foster daughters (just about done with the adoption), the closet has locking door (front door + key type).

Frodo was feeling left out. So here is a pic from back in November. He's (she actually) has grown a LOT since then!

I want to see the pics, this sounds awesome! I'm trying to work out something similar in my own home right now.

 

[WAFisherman]

Sorry, the place they were hosted apprently has some issue sharing them as I thought (I can see them, but I have an account with them...).

Does this work for you?

 

[Chrissie]

Yep, it showed up this time. Very cool setup! :headbang: Rockin'

 

[WAFisherman]

They should all work now. Let me know if not...

 

[shanerp69]

Very nice! I love the imaginative use of space!

Whats that BP in front of Dubias? And what did you use to keep that tile up in that tank?

 

[WAFisherman]

BP is a ball python.

In his viv, I took some foam board and added self adhesive tiles (3 for $ at dollar store) and cut to fit the back, sides, and bottom. Helps keep temps and humidity up for the tropical snake.
