    Heres my homemade rack!

    I finally set this thing up. Ordering the rest of the flexwatt that i'll need from reptile basics today.

    All i need to do now is drill a couple holes in the back so i can put the wires through so they wont be visible.

    But other than that- waddaya think? (kinda ghetto i know, but it works)

    My 16 year old self built it btw.

    Re: Heres my homemade rack!

    Why did you build it to accomodate lids?
    That defeat the purpose of a rack, no?

    no there is such thing as a lidded rack. And it hold the heat sooo much better than a heated tub outside of the rack. I can do lidded or lidless also.
