 I was board so I snapped some shots of my herp room/office. Some pics are a little blurry, but I was too lazy to do it again.

 This group of cages holds; one female crested gecko in the exo terra, one Mexican Black King in the acrylic tank, one Everglades rat in the bottom cage and one male and one female crested gecko in the stacked 10 gallon tanks. All lights are connected to and R-Zilla digital timer/surge protector and heating for both snake cages is controlled by a Ranco thermostat. Heat for the kingsnake is a 100 watt bulb. Heat for the ratsnake is a Pro Products radiant heat panel.

 This group of cages holds; one bull snake in the 6ft cage, one Children's python in the cage on the left, one western hognose in the cage on the right and one crested gecko in the 20 gallon on top of the python cage. All heating is controlled by a Ranco thermostat. The hognose cage is heated by a red bulb, the python cage is heated by a Pro Products radiant heat panel and the bull snake cage is heated by a square of flexwatt installed underneath the cage. All lights are controlled by a digital timer/surge protector.

 The goal is to ditch all "tank" type cages and heat lamps and replace them with sliding door cages and heat panels.

 Crested Gecko Cage- This is an 18x18x18 Exo Terra with live plants and bio-active soil. A want all the geckos to go into planted ExoTerra's, eventually.

 Everlagdes Ratsnake Cage- This is a 48x24x18 Showcase Cage. Note the stack of wood rock and cork on the right. This allows a wide range of basking and hiding temperatures.

 Children's Python Cage- This is a 36x24x24 Showcase Cage. Again, the stack of wood on the left allows a wide range of high and low basking and hiding temps.

Kingsnake Cage- This is a 48x18x12 acrylic tank.

Hognose Cage. 20 gallon tank. She's going into a 40 gallon this week.

 Crested Gecko Stack- Stack of two-10 gallon tanks.

Nice, your snake cages are similar to mine, only I use rocks not wood for the stack near the basking site. I like the idea how you stacked the tanks on top of eachother, it looks like it takes up less space and it looks neater.

Nice! I use the screen/acrylic tanks from Sandfire for my cresteds, found the ExoTerras held so much humidity (daily misting in an apt w/40% humidity from all the critters) that the food would start molding overnight. I also use racks for my ball pythons, had a separate room w/tanks for each, but they eat and behave better in the racks (from Jason's Jungle)! Getting ready to build the carpets new tanks since they pretty quickly outgrew the 4X2x2 tanks(especially the female). Good luck with the bigger tank for your hognose!

thats awesome!!! I iked how you stacked the crested gecko cages on top of eachother. Now my question is, how hard is it to maintain all those herps? I've always wondered how people are able to have so many herps and take care of them properly too. Nice herp room though!!!
