    Animal plastics vs c serpents rack system

    So I am looking to purchase a new rack and I was interested to hear people's opinions on which one is better . Cost wise they seem very close with ap being slightly cheaper but not but a large margin . Thanks for any and all input !

    I believe CSerpents comes prebuilt with appropriately sized tubs and AP racks do not if that sways your opinion.

    AP racks don't come assembled and you have to buy the tubs. I like my AP rack I have had some problems with the hotspot being uneven throughout the slots. So you may have to play with the hotspot temps a bit, But other than that I like it. Don't have any experience with CSerpents so I can't give you any advice on them.

    Re: Animal plastics vs c serpents rack system

    I own both first started with AP before C-Serpent came along and C-Serpent racks are superior and actually cheaper considering that they come with tubs, not just any tubs, very sturdy high quality tubs.

    If you are lucky enough to have a show near you where Chris vends you will also save a lot of money since he delivers for free to shows.

    Finally the lead time PA has a 8 to 12 weeks lead time (12 weeks is what I have experienced), not such a wait with C-Serpent product.

    You can't go wrong with C-Serpents racks. AP has a good product but I would choose C-Serpent every time.

    Re: Animal plastics vs c serpents rack system

    I have a Cserpents rack and think its great. The reason i went with the Cserpents rack is because right know I don't have a dedicated reptile room so the heat isn't kept super warm. The Ap rack is an open design while the Cserpents rack has solid walls so it holds the heat in a bit better.
