    Has anyone built a DIY hatchling rack?

    If so, would love to see some pictures.
    I'm going to build a hatchling rack holding 30 6 qt tubs, and just pondering on how to do it.
    I want it to kinda look like a book case, or anything that looks good.
    So if you've built your own hatchling rack, please, let me see!

    I had an old ikea dresser than I gutted and put melamine shelves in. It could have held 30 of the 6 qts if I wanted, but I needed space for juvies (corn snakes) as well. As is, it also doubles as our TV stand.




    You might actually consider starting with a bookcase, or something similar, just to give you a bit of a framework.

    First one is a smaller one I built 2 years ago with back heat. but I sold that one and built a new larger one with belly heat. the back heat worked fine. but towards the end I was heating the whole rack for one or 2 snakes. so I built the new one with belly heat and a plug on each shelf. so now I can only heat the shelves I'm using which is much better.

    Re: Has anyone built a DIY hatchling rack?

    Here's mine, it's not pretty but does hold 30 hatchies, and is very functional! The last 2 seasons I've sworn I'm going to upgrade to lidless, but I'm lazy and hate building hatchie racks!!
