If you've got a garden then you could put in or convert a shed. You would need insulation and power to it but it allows for a lot more space.

We've currently got 2 rooms for the reptiles (soon to be a 3rd) but we are planning on a large shed in the future to house some of the bigger reps as they grow.

We've got a big shed in the garden, it's full to overflowing now though lol, I've got my incubator in a walk in cupboard in the house, at hatchling time my bedroom is overtaken , and any quaranteens go in the living room, so yeah pretty much everywhere. Really need the kids to move out and I can have their bedrooms lol

i live with my parents at the moment so i have 4 leos, a royal and a BD in my bedroom and the OH lives with his parents too and has 3 leos and 2 BD's in his room... we're looking for a 3 bedroomed house so we can have a reptile room (the OH needs a studio too haha) will probably keep the quarantined animals either in the stuido, bedroom or living room tho

'Tis a problem I'm having too.
Already had my Mexi Black knocked back by the missus as she refuses to have anything in our bedroom !
At the mo the leo's are divided up in the 2 kids rooms over 5 vivs, but I'll soon have to find space for an incubator/hatchling rack......(plus the additional inevitable 'additions') !

My lad has his corn, but is wanting another snake for xmas this year, so it's where to put another 3/4 foot viv in there too... decisions decisions.

I've seriously thought about an extension as a 'rep room' but have pushed my luck on so many things I think that would be a step too far.

Just off to look up shed/insulation/power options now though !!!

just do it... whats the worst that can happen? x

I have em in my bedroom and living room. I converted the bottom shelf of my bookshelf into a viv. I use the kitchen for quarantine.

If I trebled my collection I'd just keep stacking and find the space. If I had an ENORMOUS collection I'd rack them to save space.

oh and were selling one of the sofas to make more room in the living room
