Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Well I think you may be a bit surprised by the racks I built but hey they work well and all are heated. They are steel racks from Wally World and have heat tape under the hide portion of the enclosure with the bottom insulated with 1/2" foam board. The baby rack was made from two plastic shelving units from Lowes and the incubator is an old bird medic unit I had from breeding Moluccan Cockatoos years ago before I sold everything and became a Pastor. The room is 22' x 24' with a vaulted ceiling. The top tubs are our dubia for the dragons we also keep. Half the room is for our snakes 1/4 for the dragons and 1/4 for the rodent freezer and other supplies.

Yep, I use those same metal racks with heat tape. Work like a charm! I don't have the insulation, though. I've become part-reptile down here, so my place is usually kept rather warm.

here is a couple updated pictures of the new snake building from hell. I say from hell because my "friend" that was pouring the slab did not know when I said a 4" slab that he had to put a footing down for the wall because he does freeway concrete......did I mention it was as smooth as a freeway! So after that cost me an extra $600 to fix, my "buddy" was going to take care of me on the building. It was SUPPOSE to be me and him building it to save me money but he showed up with his guy. Just got the bill which was $1300 more than I told him I had a quote for. Why is it so easy to find someone to screw you and so hard to get love?

Looks good Randy, I can't beleive he wouldn't know about a footer. How did you get that fixed for $600? As far as over the quote, here in PA any changes to the original bid must be on a Change of Work order that is a legally binding contract signed by both parties. This is per the national code adopted by most states in 2010. Now I know Cali is funky on regulations, certifications and everything else, so not sure if this applies there. Is the electric ran? Is that a flat roof on there? Don't think I've ever seen corrugated used as soffit before. I must say I envy you though, would be much nicer to have a seperate building that is dedicated to all things reptile. Instead it's strewn all about my house.

its been taking awhile because I have been so busy. When you get up at 3am to be to work by 4:30 then pull 10 hour shifts, get home coach little league and take care of animals building is SLOW going! Fully insulated and part of the drywall is in. I will send more pictures in a week or so.
