    First time builder, Custom Rack

    Hey guys! I'm just getting started into ball pythons, but to save space since I live in a tiny apartment I decided to build what I will hereby call my 'snake condo' to house my growing addiction (er.... I mean... collection) Just got the lumber last Friday and built it on the weekend! Right now Im still waiting on my flexwatt, herpastat 2 and a couple other odds and ends to come in the mail, so the tubs and my display tank are heated with UTH's and controlled by a lame hydrofarm thermostat. Heres a Pic of the finished product!! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2021.52.04.jpg Its roomy enough for 6 adult tubs and 6 juvenile tubs, I just need to buy them as my collection increases. Very exciting! Heres a question though, how should I hook up the heat tape to the thermostat, should I wire them together and run them through a single plug, or make each tier its own plug and run them through a power bar into the thermostat so I can plug and unplug depending on which is in use? hmmmmmm....

    I guess it's personal preference, I would run just a single plug, that many cord caps hanging behind there would be a pain imo. maybe not 3 but imagine doing that for every rack....
