Setting up my HOT room (PICTURES)
Well I always enjoy looking at pictures of people’s setups so I thought I would start a post and show mine.
I recieved my Venomous Reptile Licence in 1993. In 1999 I got out of the hobby because of the Military and a bad marriage. I'm am now out of both and getting back to what I really love and have missed.
Picture #1
DANGER! You are about to enter my snake room. (Sign is cool IMO but also lets police or firefighters know why the door is closed and locked if such an event arises)
The door can only be opened with a key. Hanging from the door handle is a combination key safe that holds the key to the snake room. I have 2 kids in the house so safety, prevention and security come first. They know what these snakes can do but it’s better to be safe than sorry. They have their own non venomous snakes they can play with.
Picture # 2
Also notice framed Venomous License hanging on the wall along with emergency numbers (Hospital, Florida Fish Commission, Police and Vet) and also a list of what to do and what not to do in case of a bite. Sure I know what to do but in the panic (my GF or kids) may forget and they can just grab the frame and read the info if I'm not doing well. (This info is a few steps past the obvious like calling 911)
Picture # 3
Behind the door and along the bottom is a metal strip, the gap is so thin paper has a hard time sliding under. If a snake ever gets out it won’t be crawling under the door and chasing my GF around the house.
Picture # 4
The A/C vent and outtake vents are screened and secured with a staple gun. This prevents snakes from escaping through both vents.
I never had a HOT snake escape (knocks on wood) but if a snake does escape or gets away from me it will stay in the room till I can capture it.
More pictures to come in a day or so.
