A number of my long distance frog friends have been pestering me to post pics of my frog room. Pretty intimidating compared to most people here. Still, it brings me great joy and escapism. While nothing more than two racks, it generates smiles. With that said, I'll take you on a brief spin.
We live in a small apartment. Why, you ask? Because Mrs. Zoomie and I want to buy a place on 25-50 acres. Helps us to stack up cash.
I only had two small interior walls to work with. The room also houses all my fishing gear, geocaching swag, books, and photography gear.

As simple as it gets. Two racks with a shelf trapped in the middle. My lovely wife picked out the woven boxes above giving me lots of storage. Sorry about the shadows. Fill flash was shot from below.
8 tanks total. 4 18x18x24 Exos, one 50 gallon, and three 10's for grow outs.

Here is the left rack. Chazutas are in the tank to the left. The yet-to-be-built Exo is in a heated race. It will end up housing Southern Variabilis or Vanzos. A horribly tough decision.

Below are my tad cups. They are warmed to 75 degrees by the growout shoplight.

To the right of them is my incubator. Just drawers with Petris,lids, and paper towels in each drawer. I lost a few eggs with this set up when fall arrived. I believe I have the problem solved but am still watching them like a hawk.

The bottom shelf houses a PC case with PSU and fan controllers. I will add the herp keeper to it once I get done running additional wire.
It also holds the growout tanks. THey really aren't growouts so much as morph tanks. I peel the tape off the tad cup and tape to the glass. Yes, I snatched the idea from Chesney. Good people borrow. Great people steal.

The right rack has the Bakhuis Mountains in the left Exo and the Leucs in the right. The 50 houses my wild biker gang of Auratus. The big storage container on the bottom is my not-so-secret stash of wood and cork bark.

The trapped shelf houses springs, iso's, FF and water. The Mist King will replace all of the water and draw from twin 3.5 gallon buckets.

All my bugs. With the exception of two species, they came from Doug aka Pumilo. I love my bug cultures almost as much as the frogs. Big thanks to Pumilo for helping me get them set up and stable.

Pretty self-explanitory here. I ran dual media cultures between Joshs and Superfly. Frankly, production is about even. Last week I settled on Superfly. I think that Alan has a fantastic product and it's worth the money to me.

As you can see, nothing special and all pretty low-tech. I can say that with the exception of the Auratus, everyone is laying eggs. A testament to all the great froggers here that have killed themselves to help ensure that I had a vague clue as to what I am doing. And most importantly, that my frogs have satisfactory homes.
