The Flexwatt, if you run it correctly will be on the back half of the 32qt. The snakes will use it when they need to or go to the other side. I haven't had any issues at all. If the snake is too big for that then you really should have them in a 41qt.

Ok so the snakes will use the lengths of the tubs instead of the depths for their hot/cool sides. That's what I was wondering. Thanks

You can't use their website. You need to find a local office and deal with them. Their website isn't updated or accurate in terms of pricing. This is a chore for people that don't mind a bit of footwork and phone calls But if you do that and get a relationship with your local supplier it will pay dividends in the long term.

Re: DIY XPVC Rack - Complete with pics!
I have one last question that I can think of at the moment,
Would I be able to use Vision tubs with the cuts you showed us in your diagram on page 8? I really like the quality of those tubs more than the sterilite but I REALLY wanna make both of your racks: the 15/32 qt and the 41 qt. I would use the V-35 instead of the 32 qt if that is possible. If not, I can always work with sterilite. I would have to use the 28 qt though because my walmart doesn't carry the 32 qt tubs.
Please let me know your thoughts as I am thoroughly confused with the differences between the sterilite tubs and the vision tubs. If anybody could tell me what the V-tubs are equivalent too I would GREATLY appreciate it (How many qts is a V-15/V-18/V-35 etc). I already know that the V-70 is basically the CB-70 and I know it will fit fine with your 41 qt rack so thats not an issue
Thanks so much,
SC

Perhaps someone that uses those tubs can help more. You're going to have to buy your tubs and modify the design to use something else. Sorry I can't be more help! Good luck.

Re: DIY XPVC Rack - Complete with pics!
Simple Man, where did you find the 15 and 32 quart tubs for the rack on the 1st page? I found them on the Sterilite website, but I find it odd that you can't order directly from them??
Also, you say in the first post that the shelves are 24 x 17 but your cut reference sheet says 24 x 18. Was that just a typo?
0.1 Normal "Vera"
1.0 Kenyan sand boa "Haji"
1.0 Mussurana "Guinness"
1.1 Cinnamon "Jake & Sybil"
1.0 Mexican black kingsnake "Set"
1.0 Patternless Northern pine snake "Ponder"
1.0 Jaguar carpet python "Django"
0.1 Tangerine albino Honduran milksnake "Sunny"
1.0 Blue phase Japanese rat snake "Malachite"
