Perfect! I wasn’t sure if AP was the store or pick up location, so I’ll take a look there and mess around on the website, thank you!

No problem. I was mistaken when I initially stated the options for overhead heating were limited. I was thinking within the context of stacking them but when I took a look on the website I saw they do have the option to add a hole and screen for overhead lighting/heating.

HVAC, electrical, and insulation are in. Drywall should be going up today or tomorrow. Actually looks more like a room now. Sorry for the dark pic/flash, had to take this before I left for work this morning and the sun wasn’t up and we have no over head lighting yet.

Actually looks a bit like a room now 
Sheet rock went up yesterday. Still needs to be mudded and sanded but we have walls.

Oooowweeeee! We have paint, power, and light!
Still no snakes 
Zooming out to get the whole room in the shot makes it look very narrow.
I like how bright the lights are.

Nice! I finished out a room in my basement, but only took before and after pics. Love the color of your walls, almost like mine. What are you going with on the floor? I’ll see if I can attach pics of my room. I also work from home 2 days a week so I put it in my snake room. size is 12x23
What was the lighting you used for inside the cage? Waiting on my cage to get here.

Nice room! You got a ton of space left to fill 
What are you keeping?
Can’t wait for this to be finished in a few more weeks and get everyone moved in.
The LEDs were just stick on under cabinet LEDs from Amazon I strung together. They look good but we’ll see how long they last. 
The floor is just going to be the same LVP we run through the rest of the basement. It’s a similar color to yours.

Nice collection! How’s the temperament on the ETBs?

I took Sammy and Cheeto down to check out the new room. The first snakes to be in there. Judging by their scowls of approval I think they like it!

They are typical northerns. Female strikes out but they will settle down as they get older. They just turned 1

Nice! Those guys are very tempting to get. How is their temperament?

Most of mine are super chill. A few of them started out a little hissy and did some tail buzzing but they grew out of that quick. I do have one small female that will strike but she’s small so she bounces off your hand. She is starting to calm down though.
Very scary!!!
I’ve been bitten more times by my son’s corn snake than all the bulls combined. I think the rep they have is pretty undeserved. Sure some of them never grow out of the hissy, buzzy, striking behavior but most do and you can get jerk snake with any species.

Been a while since I’ve updated this. Basement is almost completely done. I was hoping the whole project was complete by the time we went on vacation a couple of weeks back but no such luck. However, the work in the snake room is complete!
Today I got the AP cages for the bulls moved in and set up (minus one). I found some $6 swivel casters each rated for 125lbs at Lowe’s that I added to the base for each stack. Being able to easily move each stack is awesome!
I got the heat and thermostats for each stack set up on wifi herpstats. I’m going to let everything run for a few days so I can play with the ambient in the room. I am aiming for 78F in the room. I set up some govees on each end of the room and they are currently reading 73F with the dampers on the air returns wide open so some tinkering is needed. I’m probably gonna have to do more tweaking when I get the boa cages set up, but oh well.
Anyway, it’s exciting to finally get some stuff set up in there.

Looks like you could use another 20-30 more enclosures

Soon…… 
There’s still plenty of room in there. The boa’s are going on the opposite wall away from the air returns. I just gotta remember to save some room for hatchling racks when the time comes.

Looking good!
How are you heating the cages? How are the casters attached to the cage? Would love a pic of that.
Edit: I see you got a base for them. I need to do that
I went with Reptile Basic for my cages. Will post pics after I finish with shelving and cleaning up.
