    Looking for a 5 tub rack system, Any Recommendations?

    Hi,

    In the past, I've built many racks using melamine, and I'm thinking of going down the route of purchasing an already built rack. I was looking at Boaphile's rhinoraxx, the one with 5 tubs each measuring 23 1/8" long x 16" Wide x 6 3/8" Tall. Overall the rack is approximately 32" tall.

    Any other recommendations? Just double checking, is a 23"x 16" tub large enough for one adult ball?

    Thanks

    p.s. seems like there was a lot more to choose from 5 years ago...

    I wouldn't recommend boaphile. Terrible customer service and I think there are better quality products available from other manufacturers.

    I would recommend:

    1. Animal Plastics
    2. Reptile Basics
    3. ARS caging
    4. C-Serpents

    23 x 16 is smaller than I like. I would go with a 41 quart tub (IRIS CB-70, Vision V-70, ARS 70 series, etc)

    Kinda depends on what you want to spend. You won't find one as cheap as you can build it yourself. There's ARS and freedom breeder which are the high end of the spectrum, and the lower cost pvc ones like AP and C-serpents. I can't honestly recommend one over another as I have to build mine to cut costs, but if inwas buying it would be AP because I really like the look and build of their racks, or ARS if I had a climate controlled room. And because they're close enough to make the drive to pick up and avoid freight cost.
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    Never argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
    Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
