DIY 9 Tub Breeder Rack (lightweight plastic shelving unit)

[SlitherinSisters]

How are these heat wise? I have a back and half the sides covered to keep in heat on my wood rack

I have my thermostat set at 92, it's 88-89 on the hotspot. In my melamine rack I was able to have my thermostat set at 90 to get a hot spot of 88, so not a huge difference. I do heat my snake room to 75 though, that makes my cool side roughly 75 degrees. If you don't heat your snake room you will probably want to put sides on it. There isn't a huge difference from bottom to top heat wise since there aren't sides, so that's nice.

This is awesome!! Did you have to cut the posts as well? Or do the shelves slide down into place? If they slide down, what holds them where you want them to stay? Very cool.....

Yeah, you will need to cut the posts. You will also have to make 4 posts out of the extra you cut off to make the other posts (the extra pieces are long enough, so don't worry). I will have to take apart the top shelf and measure the posts to get lengths for you. The back posts are 1/4 of an inch longer than the front if I remember right.

It's really tall, I have to use a step ladder for the top shelf. I'll have to get a height measurement too. I can slide the entire rack around the room on my own, it's very light, but also very sturdy.
