Nice setup dude where did you get the heat panels? Now that I live in New York I having to rethink my setups lot different than living in Florida.

 Steve  they  are Pro product heat panels

Nice! It looks fabulous! Did you use fabric for the backgrounds?

Love the built-in paper towel holders too ;)

Heather  the small ones are bandanas  $1 each and the bigger ones are posters

Thanks Doom I have mine in Vision Cages but I relly like the Exo Terra's working at PetSmart I can get a good deal

Very clean set up!

How many snakes do you have in there? So jealous!

Looks good!

Great idea! It looks fabulous!

Looks awesome Mike :) thanks for sharing!

Sweet!!! Now which one is Wonky in?

Wonky  is still in a file tub they hold humuidity so well  he is changing like crazy !!!

Yep...my two gals went green nearly overnight!!! Got the Skittles belly!!! 

Wow .. I love it! Looks amazing!

Looks Great Doom! I was wondering why you had the long poles in the picks that I saw on MVF. Now I understand... Paper Towel holders. Great idea!!! You can never have enough paper towels :)

Thanks  everybody ... Tad  the poles come in a variety of lengths  those where the closest to the size I needed  I was just lucky that I had enough room to fit the towel rolls on them  It was luck  not a plan  ! Hey  sometimes  things go your way  ..

Looks great!

I kind of want to do something similar to this, but no one makes 40 breeder ish sized tanks with that setup that I've found :( Very sad and frustrating

 Paul Exo tera  makes  a 36" tank like that  and I was told  they are coming out with 12" tall Terrestrial tanks as well

Yeah, I did see that while browsing shortly after that comment. But sadly, LLL says it's local in store pickup only :(  Our pet chains carry the smaller ones.
The terrestrial tanks are cool. I mean, I mostly use stackable animal plastics and stuff but having some more display type tanks for my smaller animals is appealing.

Bet that feels good to take a step back and look at!  Very nice!  : )

Gorgeous set up!!

Paul-- You might try checking Petsmart--the one where I live has started carrying the 36x18x18" model Exo-Terra. Otherwise, you might check with local stores to see if any of them can special order them for you?

Ours doesn't--they only stock the tall ones (at least that I've ever seen). I've inquired about special ordering stuff before and they frankly weren't very helpful (although they just got a new manager, a guy I worked for back in college--maybe he can help?). 

Paul this place ships free  and has  good prices

Looks awesome! You've got a great set-up going! I'm super jealous. I have a couple of those Exo Terra cubes and love them! Also those metal shelves from the restaurant stores are a life saver! I'd be such a mess without them.

That is a great idea with the backup t-stat.  I'm writing that down into my book of tricks.

awsome !

Very awesome!  We're working on a seperate facility right now and I hope it looks this awesome when it's done, though mine will mostly be AP racks, lol

That is the coolest reptile room, snake sanctuary or chondro chamber I've ever seen! Totally stoked for you - I'd keep having to go in there just to look at it and grin if it was mine 

That is very nice. I have ideas of what I want to do, but not the know how.

That is one sexy room, love how you modded the tanks.

OMG, I just want to live there.  That setup is so clean and streamlined.  That's badass and I love it.

Totally awesome setup and a great display as well!

I need to rethink my Freedom Breeder rack heating system here and its just driving me nuts!

So... do they just hang there like that all day? ... must be exhausting. lol.

Would you care to share some photos of chondros that AREN'T all bunched up and tangled together with themselves? I rarely ever see any action photos of them...

Wow a sticky  on my set up  I'm Honored Sticky God !!

  Thanks for all the wonderful comments  everybody.. I was messaging  Tad last Nght he used me as an example  of keeping in non PVC cages  and i was honored.  and I said  yeah I could have got some sweet chondro's  but I decided to provide better for the ones I have first  .. I'm Glad I did !

  This set up was in the works for a long time . I have been collecting parts  and planing  for a while .. I did the math  last Night and it was staggering !! But if you take baby steps  and Plan  and buy whet you can, when you can.  You can provide for your animals  In a way they deserve ..  Yes it looks great  .. But,, It works great  thats even better .. Now I'm off to clean up the mess  I made in the rest of te room ..  Thanks again for the kind words ..

  Lindsey  they  are vampires  thay Hunt at night  its like a whole different world in there after dark  I will try to get some pics  Under my red lamp and see if i can  change your Mind ..  there are lots of pics in my profile  of awake chondro's also

That is the single most beautiful thing i've seen all day!! :DD I cant wait to get my GTP and buy her a sexy exo-terra to show her off in. :)))

your room looks fantastic, thank you for sharing!

god damn did you win the lottery or something??? thats an expensive display!

I'm totally going to chondro-stalk your photos now !!

Gotta put my 2 cents in too... You've really outdone yourself on this and its really awesome looking. Where did you get the 1/4" hdpe board at?

you have an awesome snake room

beautiful! You did a great job! And yeah liek you were saying just a little at a time. They will be fine in tus or cheaper enclosures and you slowly build up buy piece at a time. I have some old tanks coming in this week I will be converting and so forth. Exciting stuff. That is one awesome room!

love it!

WOW!!!  You did a AMAZING job on your new set up!!!!  LOOKS TOTALY AWESOME!  So neat and organized.   Very pleasing to the eye  

really like the way green tree pythons look, get some experience under my belt and its between that or a piebald

Awesome setup brotha

Mike, that room is awesome!  I have a question for you as a novice at chondros.  Do you think there is any difference in husbandry, health, behavior, etc...  in housing in all glass as compared to the darkened sides as with the pvc?  I'm debating permenant enclosure options for my first chondro i got a few weeks ago.  And I guess for the second too, since he'll be here tomorrow.  And personally I like the look of the all glass exo types.

Love it! Badass set-up! The paper towel idea is great!

Dave , Most of my babies  have been stared in File tubs  and then into my Doom cubes  I made ..( you can see them on my page ) .I  wound up getting  a few Exo's  and  used them since i had them  on hand and I liked them .. I have a few PVC cages also  and to be homest  there so Gloomy .. you need to have a light in every cage  and there is so much border around the door's they take away from the purpose of having a beutiful animal .. Last week I basicaly swiched  almost every chondro  I own into a new enclosure  some  into bigger  Exo's  some into an Exo for the first time .. Not 1 animal skipped a meal .. My cages are in a "snake room "  so not to much traffic.. I try to provide  cover for the snake to get Cozy  if he wants ..  I could have got any cages I wanted  or built some for that fact  but I  like the exo terra's  they look good  there easy to clean I like the locks on the doors , and if you shop around  and make a connection  you can get them pretty afordably.  and I light every cage with 1 sole light bulb  what a concept !!  Welcome to the world of the Wallet sucking Green vampire snake   .. Hit me up any time  if you have a question  ..

That's awesome, Mike!  Those teaser pics really didn't do this justice!  Kudos to you!

nice backgrounds

Very nice! I think my snakes are jealous now

Awesome!!

 lovin it! ive had some aspirations for a wall of chrondo filled exo's!

wow thats the most amazing set up ive seen in a while , props.

Nice tree huggers, the cages look awesome :D

Awesome!!!

looks fantastic doom!

how are you doing the perches?

How ?? Please Elaborate !

Very nice setup and it looks fantastic! 

I have those same tubs with the purple locking clips, where did you get those covers for them, or did you make them? If you made them, can you explain how and with what materials?

The new room looks fantastic Doom!!! I love Exo Terras. :)      -p-

Just awesome. Thanks so much for showing us your setup and giving us some great tips on how you take care of your collection. I'm really hoping to get a gtp or two in the future. I just need to get my new reptile room going.

Sick!!!

What a beautiful room. A perfect reptilian zoo. :)

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

Info on the perches would be appreciated
