Lets see those frog racks and closets. I'll start first by posting mine. These are all the vivariums I have minus the 40 Vert in another room.

Nice! I only have two vivs (so far) and one is a quarantine tank. They are just setting on a little table! LOL Not very exciting

i have been in the process of cleaning out a storage room in my house so i can set up a room, will post pix when finished

[D3monic]

Heres mine. Sorry, I didn't bother cleaning before taking the pic

[MikeM670]

Man I love the look of your tanks. Could you take close up shots of them? They look fantastic. How long have they been established!!

[MikeM670]

Amy,

We all start with the one! From there on its downhill!

[MikeM670]

Katieasaur,

I would really like a dedicated room for frogs. Better to control the temp and humidity.

[Katieasaur]

Yeah the room is only really used to store most stuff, so I'm hoping that I can get it cleaned up soon lol

I also breed betta fish, so it's going to be a big hobby room for me and my breeding projects

where do you guys get ur metal racks at?

[Baelari]

They look like the wire shelves I got at wal-mart.

[MikeM670]

I got those particular shelves at ACE Hardware. They are the 48 inch wide ones and are black in color. They also were on sale! I think you can get wire rack shelves just about everywhere. These hold 350 pounds per shelf.

After putting some tanks on the rack I decided to cut and fit some MDF sheets to fit inside the wire rack perimeter and corner posts. This allowed the shelves to sit better and certainly makes it much easier to slide the tanks on and off if needed.

Very cool Mike. I just bought a five foot wide rack for my frog closet. As soon as I get it all set up Ill post a picture. I went from a four foot to a five foot to give more room for larger tanks and better spacing.

Super cool guys! I'm ready to pull my hair out with my clustered frog room
one more week, I keep telling myself. You all will like the before and after pics of my frog room.

Cheri, where did you get a 5ft rack? I can only find 4footers.

[bshmerlie]

It is not the typical wire rack. It is an industrial shelving unit. I got a used unit for $85 from a shelving supply company. It comes with five shelves. The extra foot gives me just a little more flexability on tank size. This will allow me to get ten good size tanks on the one rack. I'm trying to keep all tanks on one rack in the frog closet.

[bshmerlie]

Google Edsal extra wide shelving unit

[Grrrit]

Gotcha. A 5' rack would be nice though. I could fit two 29gal on one shelf. And 5 ten verts on a shelf. a guy can dream lol

Here are some updated pics of my frog room. As you can see it is not finished yet. New window is on order and I need to finishing framing in the door. The custom viv in the pick will go back to the other rack. I needed to move it to the rack with the misting king system, since we are going away in August.

Man, I need a frog room. Maybe just moving all my wife's clothing and shoe boxes from the bedroom and into the hallway will fly.

I'm guessing not, but its worth a shot.
