    Need advice on rack

    I am considering purchase of my first rack set up. It will initially be used for hatchlings, but I would like to use it as long as possible before upgrading to a larger tub size. Any link to recommened manufacturers and specific models would be helpful. Would it be good to just start witha 28 qt?

    Thanks

    6 quart would be better for hatchlings, they'll feel more secure.

    These two companies make pretty good racks:
    http://www.animalplastics.com/
    http://www.reptilebasics.com/reptile-rack-systems

    And for specifics, this rack could hold hatchling tubs and juvenile tubs:
    http://www.animalplastics.com/Iris/375.htm

    And adult and juvenile tubs:
    http://www.animalplastics.com/Iris/cb70.htm

    They also have a wide variety of racks (AP) and they can also come in open sided versions.

    for price, quality, and customer service I would say that RBI (reptilebasics.com) has been the best in my experience. plus their turnaround time on racks nowadays is approximately 56 hours. might be the best lead time in the business right now.

    there are a variety of other options, and I know animal plastics has some good economy racks if you're not looking to spend very much. I have a boaphile rack as well that is great quality, but until my collection reaches the freedom breeder stage criteria, I'll stick with RBI.
