Okay, as it stands i have a spare room in my hous, its a small bedroom, and it currently houses my boas and my MBKS, howver, i want to make i a proper reptile room.

i can get viv stacks built and that...but i have on issue, there is only one plug socket in the room, atm i have one large extension lead with 10 plug sockets on it, with 4 being used for the snakes i have in there at the mo, if i was going to make a proper reptile room, id need alot more plug sockets, so im worried there could be a fire,

anyone know how i go about making it safe???


sensible answer sonly pweez

get a sparkie in to fit a new ring on ya board just for that room then you can have lots and lots of plugs which in turn means lots of animals

as above really and you could also buy electrical fire extinguishers from argos just in case i did

Good luck with the room

Even yhough the plugs are fused you are overloading the current socket, get some more fitted before you add to it

look on google the is a few things on there about it

i am an electrician and i would either get a radial circuit(20amps) or a ring main(32amps) installed just for that room and ensure it is rcd protected.that way you'll have it as safe as you could for your animals and you. to be honest a 20amp radial would prob be more than adequate and in my opinion and lots of other sparks,a radial circuit is alot safer than a ring main,so a 20amp radial that is rcd protected just for that room would be great

defo get an electrician in before you do anything, mite cost a bit and make a bit of a mess but jus look at the damage that was caused by a fire in the snakes section, not worth taking the risk
