So CaptBogart is generously giving me his uromastyx. I am so excited I can't believe it!!! I have wanted one for so long, but the lizard itself is expensive, and then they need a large viv to accomodate the temperature zones- otherwise I could cheap out and put him in a 40 breeder. So it's been a concurrent fantasy that if I ever got a uro, I would put it in a Showcase Cage. But a 4x2 cage isn't so easy to squeeze in, in my house, where every inch of wall space and every flat surface is covered with snakes. So...

I moved a bookcase out of my bedroom into the bathroom. I moved the double ten gallon stack of Calli/Ruby into the bedroom. I moved the cedar chest in Dillbird's room to the foot of the bed. I moved the china cabinet into Dillbird's room. I moved Rack #3 to the kitchen where the china cabinet had been. I moved a teak chest out to the living room where rack #3 and Calli/Ruby had been, to set the uro's viv on. I turned Bella's crate around, moving the pads and cover and all that, to use the door on the other side that opened the right way, and moved that where the teak chest had been. Oh, to move the teak chest, I had to move Lila's viv/cupboard in the kitchen, and the dresser that Zee and Noee sit on, in the bedroom. Ok. I hated the Calli/Ruby stack next to my bed. I thought of moving the room AC over to the window next to Rack #1, but worried about that rack and El Wray getting cold. So I moved Ruby/Calli BACK to the living room, this time in front of a window, that I can't open anyway because the portable AC is vented out it, and moved Dillbird's rocking chair over by the DVD rack by Milly's cage. It looks good- Calli/Ruby cover up the ugly AC vent hose, but I worry about them getting cold there. Now I just have to move their thermostat and thermometer so I can see it. I think everything is as good as it can get without buying a bigger house...

Did I mention this took two and a half hours???

BTW, rack #3 is already filled with Calli, Ruby, El Wray, and Future Snake From KJ...(but I _do_ have bins for Rack #4!!!!)
 
I love uros! You're so lucky. I saw the nicest pair of blue ornates at a show last year and I still wish I had gotten them.
 
I love the Uro's one of my fav's as a long time lizard lover, lol!! Very cool little guys to watch for sure congrats!
 
Well, I've got Lindsey Pike close by, who always has gorgeous ornates, and I thought that when I was ready, that's who I'd go with, but then Joe obviously lost his mind, so I get Ares, who is a beautiful orange Saharan. And now my daughter is insanely jealous!!
 
This is what I want to get for him: http://www.showcasecages.com/

I _wanted_ to do this last year, with my tax return, but then I bought the snakes for the opal stripe project and avalanche stripe project instead, and that wiped me out.
 
See that space between the furthest right rack, and El Wray? I originally thought I would squeeze a 40 breeder in there for him...But I wanted him out where I could see him!
 
Damn women! Yougot a Zoo!!
In your sig you have ten corns but what your total head out.
And you just got a dog too!!
You need a bigger house.
 
I have 20 snakes- two more corns that I am boarding for DesertAnimal, two Florida Kings, a Florida/Eastern King intergrade, a Cali King, Noee the Rosy Boa, Inez the Nelson's milksnake. Zee the tri-color hoggy. And there are 11 corns in my sig! Whew!

Isabel the bearded dragon, Olivia the Colorado River Toad, the two desert torts, Fagalo the boxie. Four fish. Outside. Two pigeons inside. It's not that many!

I missed counted corns and you forgot the dog.
That is many. Thats A Zoo.
Your are the Zoomaster. LOL
 
Yay! I'm so happy for you Nanci! Of course I'm totally jealous of your rack system, and I need to PM you about all the measurements / where you got them and such... I'm always scoping out other peoples racks!

Can't wait to see more pictures!!!
 
The racks are Animal Plastics Economy Plastic 66 qt. The bins are from Target. i think the rack, with heat and shipping, was $230 or so.
 
That really sounded like a huge task. And I thought I had a lot of animals (2 cats, 2 dogs, 6 rats, 5 snakes, and 4 parrots), but I think you got me beat!

I can't wait to see your new uro though! LUCKY!
 
Wow! It's looking great, Nanci! Where's the "before" pictures?
