Welcome!!

Hello and welcome!! My forum has been up a few days, I guess I should get around to making a hello post here

I've posted a photo of some snake racks I built, I also have some Animal Plastics racks. The first rack in the photo isn't perfectly square - a carpenter I'm certainly not. It still works perfectly well though. The tubs fit snugly without lids & the shelves don't have any sag to them. There's space to store supplies on the bottom. Overall, I'm quite happy with how they turned out.

I breed my own feeder mice. They're quite economical as long as you have the space for them. Mice are fed a high quality Mazuri Rodent chow & raised in opaque tubs with plenty of privacy & ventilation (wire tops). Sleek & healthy mice make the best snake food !! You get out what you put in... my motto is to breed a few high quality, well cared for hatchlings.

I've acquired the very best specimens I could find of a few different morphs. I hope it shows in their offspring

Those are the medium & large size professional rodent cages from BigAppleHerp.com I've been using them for 2+ years & they work really well. They're lightweight & very easy to clean (no ridges on the inside, ect). They're made of a very sturdy impact resistant polypropylene material with stainless steel wire top. I think I could drop one off the roof & it would bounce, lol. (no, I'm not going to try that
