Which PVC rack to purchase

[AjBalls]

So I've got multiple eggs on the ground, and I'd honestly like to move away from metal racks altogether; currently have ARS. So now I'd like to switch to purchasing PVC racks, especially for the future hatchlings. I'd like to know people opinions on some of the racks out there. There's obviously Animal Plastics and Boaphile Plastics as the big guys. But I'd also like to hear about the smaller guys. Back home I have a C Serpents and a reptile basics rack, both which work good to my knowledge. Pros and cons to such racks out there?

You want to leave ARS. Couple questions?

1. Why
2.Dont do it
3. ARS own!
4. And smaller companies just google it, but im still confused as to why moving from ARS there tubs are amazing, and my PVC trouble eaters, in those tubs have never declined a meal and will switch from mice to rats, in 1-2 feedings and to FT the next,

Well for one, I just like th looks of PVC a little but more. But mainly because they hold heat a lot better. My snakes got moved from my old snake room, which was basically a utility closet, to a spare bedroom. The spare room does not hold heat well enough for me to want to continue with the ARS rack, as well as the prices of the ARS racks themselves. The prices I'm not a huge fan of either. Granted I do like the ARS hatchling racks, mainly because of the tub size, than opposed to a 6qt hatchling rack; but even so I'm sure that can be custom made.

Well you could always just buy tubs and build around them yourself, BUT ARS yes is pricey but when you put it to some PVC rack cost itll balance out, well here in canada, i got my ARS about 3-4 months ago and sold my PVC racks dirt cheap, i love it, But youve pretty much mentioned most PVC rack makers, all you can really do is go on a local reptile forum see if people build out of there house(always the best quality)

Or possibly just buy a oil heater for 60$? connect it to a "dinker" thermostat like hydro farm or a herp stat 1

I don't own a rack yet, but saw Cserpents at the last repticon I went to. The owner was very informative and professional and I liked how stable his racks were. I know that he will do custom work as well (multiple tub sizes on different levels, heat tape line splitting to run different temps in different rack sections ,etc.). He will also build racks to fit vision tubs. I will be purchasing a rack this year and it will be from him. If nothing else, his racks come assembled, which is a big bonus for me.

Chris @ C Serpents is the best and so are his products. He gets them out very fast too,so no long waits!

I have C-Serpents racks as well as Reptile Basics. Not a single complaint about either.

[CORBIN911]

Yea best bet would be to go to someone whos willing to work, using vision cb70 tubs or the ARS grey tubs with built in hide/bowl and build rack around those are best bet!

I ended up going with the C Serpents rack. Mainly because I talked to Brian Potter and he swears by them. So that's one order of that, putting in another next month.
