Hey All,

I haven’t posted in a while, although I read the forums most days.

I recently convinced my better half to let me keep some Royals again, so after reading a multitude of classifieds looking for a bargain, I settled for a trio of females that came with a viv etc.

Not being a fan of co-habitation I decided I would build myself a rack, also so I could keep a few more than origianly agreed =)



Overall I’m quite pleased with the final outcome!

So having filled the rack I moved the ladies in.











Before building the rack I had a real nightmare with feeding, I had the 3 females for about 6 weeks or so. In that time I had limited success with feedings, usually being lucky if 1 of them would feed. After building the rack and moving them in I left them for about a week, so the following Friday night I defrosted 6 large mice hoping for the best. What happened next really surprised me, all 3 struck 2 each! Happy days!! I was very pleased to say the least.

There was another reason for building the rack however. I had found a male I wanted to add to my collection and I was picking him up the following weekend. Fingers crossed all going well I will be breeding this boy to the 3 females in the next year or so.

I think he deserves at the very least 2 pics =)






You'll have to excuse the poor quality Iphone pics they don’t do any of the Royals any justice, especially the male.

Thanks for reading my waffle.

Cheers

Jay

Thanks Chris,

Well originally I was going to use heat tape, but its going to take quite some time to fill the rack so I settled for the largest heat strips I could find, the 47" habistats,

I will eventually have 1 mat per Shelf, these are conntected to a Pulse proportional. the idea will be that once the rack is filled it will consist of 6 mats and 2 thermostats.

that last one is stunning, congrats. so by the size of the rack it going to be more than a couple. how are you heating it?
