we built a rack. we have mainly ball pythons in ours. they are in 28qt tubs.

they are about 6 in tall. we used melamine wood to build the rack. it gets pretty heavy. lol

but we have enough for 8. we're building just reg cages too.

its pretty good.

we have heat tape near the end of it. to keep em all good. and thats attached to a herpstat.

we have a few things to change. but its been good.

what i have done recently is made racks out of mdf and threaded rod. it makes it so you can change the size of your tubs if you needed or wanted to. i will post some pics later tonight for you if you would like    and i can give you step by step plans to make it.  average cost is about $50 usd. if you go with 3/4 mdf and 5/8 treaded rod like i do.

Me too please, I was just contacted by a friend's neighbor who is getting rid of his breeding pair of Okeetee corns, I may pick them up and will need a rack system for them.  All my other snakes are in MDF (melamine) enclosures or tanks, but I'm running out of space...  Nate (FyreFocks) recommends 32qt for adult corn snakes, so that's what I will use.
