Shelf life

[matthew]

Evening all,

Ermm I was wondering if anyone (UK?) had ideas re shelves for Salamanders?

I keep mine in the "clinical" way Mike recently outlined - plastic box, paper towels - and when they are ready to drop the next generation I put the box at an incline (sometimes with a brick underneath) and add a little water, which obviously stays at the lower end.

Anyway, last night I was out in the Salamander-zone (or "Garage" as some households call it). I was surveying all that I have prior to bringing it in, into an unheated bedroom during the cold snap the UK is expecting next week.

The thought that struck me was - in the immortal worlds of Celine Dion - "This is getting serious". I have a lot now!!!

So I need to get my hands on some quality shelves, angled for the above reason, with a lip to hold the boxes.

Any shopping ideas gratefully received.
PS
I should add I was thinking of something metallic and that I have no DIY skills whatsoever.

IKEA is best in price/quality but you'll have to do it yourself - however DIY is a bit overrated there. You have a plan, tools and any holes needed are pre-drilled for you.

Now is this a late reply or not?

Just an excuse to ask how your offspring is doing?

Mat, Take a look at some old shop display racks, the shelves are often sloped to bring products to the front of the shelf and the shelves are adjustable up and down.
You can find a good lot of second hand shop shelving units on ebay.
