Tribal Gecko
Personified Originality
OK, so I just bought a house, and it needs some basic repairs. I rebuilt the attic into the master bedroom, and am now redoing the old master bedroom into my herp (aka: gecko) room. I don't have a projected close on the house till the end of Dec, so won't be moving in till Jan. I was OK'ed ahead of time to do the repairs and such anyway, and due to contingencies if the deal does not go through then i get re-imbursed.
But anyway, what would you put in a room if you where starting from scratch? The b asic room looks like below. The left hand side wall is being converted into one long rack sysytem. It will be 6' high x 13' long. I plan on building an open area in the middle to house my incubator as well once I find one I like. Since I am converting the wall itself into the rack system, I will be able to wire everything up and keep it back in the wall itself to hide all the wiring which will keep it nice and clean. Directly across from that wall is a huge bow window that is 4 panes wide, about 7'. I think that will work nice for keeping the room nice and bright and letting the geckos know night from day very well. It also faces east so it can get the nice morning sun. The room is about 10' wide, that rack will take up 2' of that. the '/' are doors that open into the room.

So any great idea's you think I can add that could be usefull? I am currently thinking about heat. Probably a space heater of some sort. This is on the second floor, and it seems to stay fairly cool, so additional heat might be a good idea here. I'm thinking my work desk will go right in front of the window. But i dunno.
