    I agree and you could make each rack to fit your needs / space. My first rack I purchased was from Reptile Basics ( a Iris MCB-L Sweater Box Rack ) after that I built the rest.
    I like to use the grey Freedom Breeder tubs because they keep it pretty dark inside the tub beside the light that seeps in through the gap at the top and I haven't needed hides since.
    They help with my shy feeders and snakes that had been off feed for a few months. Once I moved them into the grey tubs they ate the following week on feeding day.
    I looked but couldn't find a premade rack to fit them besides the metal racks Freedom Breeder makes but I don't have $2k to spend on a rack
    So I built my own from 1/2 and 3/4 plywood stained and finished them with water based stains. I left them in the garage for about a month or so until they no longer had any paint smell to them.
    I'm getting ready to build a hatchling rack that I will hopefully need this year lol. Here are the ones I've built so far

    Look up Piedmont Plastics. They are all over the country. Cuts are free at most places that carry XPVC.
