...though I must admit, the "spider room" has become the "critter room." :eek:

Anyway, the room had become a complete disaster. Since I decided to stay home from work today (for some reason I really needed a "personal sanity day"), I thought I should dedicate a couple hours to cleaning it up. I ended up removing 2 garbage bags of trash, half a dozen boxes of various sizes, several flower pots and other items that had wandered into (or been stashed in) the room as a result of moving into the new house.

current residents:
141 tarantulas
2 scorpions
2 pacman frogs
1 toad
1 blue tongue skink
1 snake (babysitting)
2 caecilians
3 eastern rhino beetles & 15+ grubs
3 roach colonies
1 pill bug colony
1 red worm colony (to be added this week)

snake, frogs, roach bin #1

wall o' spiders

another wall o' spiders

roach bins #2 and #3, beetles, caecilians, and pill bugs

i bought the lids online. i can't remember the exact site, but they were about $4/each. i just bot a lot of 10 at the time. i could probably stand to invest in another 5 to 10 2.5 gallon tanks. maybe after christmas.

and i don't have any more h. macs :)

Yeah, I was wondering about those beetles, too.

Wow, what a spider, etc. room! Nice work!

(How long does it take you to feed them?!)

Looks like your using the same metal shelving that I have. Doesn't it work great! I like how the shelves are adjustable in height and will hold quite a bit of weight. Keeps everything nice and organized and looks nice too.
