I seem to recall seeing pictures of someone's setup - probably a kingsnake.com vendor's webpage. It was a pretty big operation that could be likened to a rodent colony (e.g., racks of tubs). He and some undergrads have the breeding down, they just need to figure out the organization so all the sizes aren't mixed, and then ramping up to produce enough to meet demand. Also, anyone have a "home recipe" for those water blocks? thanks, Joe - Gecko-less, at this time :(
