Hi all,
I am planning on very soon having built a dedicated reptile room outside which will contain nearly 100% of my reptiles. It will be a insulated shed with internal lined walls and possibly tiled floor etc. It will also have power,plumbing,reverse cycle air con (guessing refrigerated would work best?),security etc. It will also contain incubators and also rodents/woodies for breeding in the same shed/room. Purpose for this setup is ease of feeding/cleaning everything in the same place and mainly for a temperature controlled room - as I am sick of worrying about reptiles and breeding rodents and woodies in the heat.
A friend who is a builder is hopefully building it for me most likely outside of his work on weekends etc as I do not have a handy bone in my body and know nothing!
What I want to know is what are peoples suggestions on possible do's and do not's for such a setup. Has anyone undertook a similar project and are able to offer any advise or things they would have done differently. I want to do this right from the start and not half do it, and save having problems and regrets down the track.
Any advise would be appreciated.
