Here's the shelving- you cant see the florescent lights that I mounted. I have t8 fixtures with 48 inch 5.0 and 10.0 lights on order

This is going to be cool!

Very nice setup! I'm very jealous
How many cages are you planning on fitting in there in there?

 

[antithesis123]

Thanks! I still have to incorporate my drainge system for the chams. I can do 3 4 ft tall cages on the back wall, 4 2x2 below there and 4 3x2 ft cages the top right side and 4 2x2 below. I have an assortment of frogs and gecko tanks for the left top and bottom shelves. With a ton of room to expand. Though.. I haven't put all the cages in there yet.. Just a few But I wont fill it for a while! It's jsut good to have room to grow.

I'm opening a tropical fish store in my town.. but I get a reptile room out of the deal

Is that a room in your house?

 

[antithesis123]

No, It's not in my house. I wish! My wife and I are opening a tropical fish store, it has a spare room- she wins and so do I! The chameleons and reptiles go to my new reptile room and leave the house.. and I get to expand

WoW that's awesome!!!! Best of luck on your store.

Keep us updated with the tropical section of the store also, I'm curious

Opening a fish store has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. I hope you do well! The reptile room looks really good. Do you plan to sell chams out of your store eventually?

Man that is awesome. Very nice room and congrats on the store.

Yes, I hope to- but I'm going to start slow with that. We'll sell only reptiles that aren't going to intimidate mothers. There are 2 reptile stores in this little town. I hope the best for them both- I have a little different market than they do so I hope it works out- We don't have ANY tropical fish stores though!

Thanks I will- I have done so much remodeling lately!! the building is old, I put in new floors, painted the outside and inside, bought shelves and a counter - man, it's a lot of work!

We're not going to open yet for about three months too- I still work in Alaska, fishing (ironically) and have to go do 2 months starting on the 27th.

"Man that is awesome. Very nice room and congrats on the store"

Thanks, I 'm putting my heart into it!

One of the cool things about having chams at the store will be to own some of the chams I always wanted!
