Racks Photos

[Simon]

Well since my web site is on the way I though that I'd take some photos of my rack system so that Invictus can help me put it up.

So here they are
<b>Adult Rack System:</b>
There are two racks in this photo. I have 4 of these racks in total for adults. The other two are 2 tubs higher.

Cranwill...I have tried to take a photo from futher back...but since it looks more like a library it's hard to take all the racks...and the space is really tight. But I'll still go and try right now and show it to you in a few moments...hahah

[Tim_Cranwill]

Thanks man....

[Simon]

Well I have tried the best I can. But it was really hard.

Here you can see the 'entrance'

Hope you can see how messy my snake 'room' is...it's actually the living room....so basically it's the whole appartment...hahahah

Wow Simon - great photos - tons of snakes! You use lids on all your adult tubs for corns? Are the little wood peices under the tubs to hold them in place? Very interesting set up - thanks for sharing,

mary v.

[ChokeOnSmoke]

wow that is impressive now I understand why you would rather throw out then clean(talking about the pvc topic)

[Tim_Cranwill]

Wow! You have 600+ snakes in an apartment?!?!?! You're crazy, man. Thanks for the pics.... Looks like a full time job for sure.

[Invictus]

UN-BLOODY-BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PoiSoNouS]

holy shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
very nice !!!!!

[Simon]

Thanks all for the great comments~
you all are just too nice!
I don't deserve all these.

Mary v,
yeah I have lids for all the adults. Just in case they slip out or anything happens. I can't do it like the hatchling - yearling rack since they are bigger. So I don't want to use those little sliding things like the hatchlings and yearlings are using. So I use the lids. All I do is pull out the tub, open the lid (and hope not to get biten) and then feed. While they are trying to kill a thawed out mouse I clean up~ It's just that simple~
The wood pieces are for the yearlings (as the hatchlings only get glad ware boxes). There is a piece of wood glue on at the end of the rack so it tightens up the back. The front piece is moveable. So that all I have to do is slide that piece of wood out and the tub slides out perfectly. Doing it this way minimizes the chance of wood contracting and expanding. Since wood do that...if I didn't have these little pieces there it would either be too large or too small for the tub to fit in as time pass. So I think those little wood pieces are great~ (IMHO...lol)


ChokeOnSmoke,
LOL..now you see why I try to be as lazy as possible? It's not funny...but I have to feed every single day and clean every single day now. But mind you...I have 3 other jobs (full time in Bank of Montreal, part time in Vector Marketing and part time in Swiift Trade), well consider it 5 jobs if you include this snake breeding is a job. The 4th job is that I own a clothing manufacturing in China. And I am studying in Economics for my masters degree right now (hopefully graduating this year. And I might either go for a laws degree, biology degree or just for the heck of it.go for PhD in Econmics (and I hate economics lol...).

cranwill,
lol....yes in an appartment...hahaha and the best thing about it is that I don't have to pay hydro...the rent of 680/month already includes hydro bill....haha I think that my hydro bill cost around half of my rent. And a bonus for me..I live with 2 other people...so 680/3 = 227 a month. LOL~ Try and beat that...hahahah

Invictus,
man...the lav that you're getting is now starting to eat like a pig. Everytime I offer him a meal he snatches it and goes chopping it down like there is no tomorrow~

Once again
thanks all for the great comments!!

[rynwilliams]

I see you keep albion enory rats, i keep the normal type what do the albino emorys look like, any chance of a pic?

[Invictus]

Good lord, Simon... do you ever sleep????? LOL
