hey all,

new here. been in the hobby for about 10 years. ive had many red tail boas and ball pythons, when I first got into the hobby back then. life happened and I had to find new homes for them. now I am back in the game. I have however always kept my first ball pythons
"sneaky snake" he is 11 years old. he is a normal from Bob Clark. I got him from the NARBC in Arlington, tx in 2007.

I am wanting to get back into having a few more snakes and am looking at building a rack or buying one. ive got the tools and handyman skills. its more of do I have the time and patience to build one.

my BP has been in a 30Lx12Wx18H glass cage since ive had him 10 years ago, eats great never had any problems with him nor has he been sick. extremely tame. I am wanting a rack system for probably 3 or 4 snakes.

but ive got a few questions

how much gap is between the tubs and the top of the next shelf when you build it? I'm wanting to go lidless

is it possible for them to slide the tub and escape?

id also like for the cage to be convertible or at least be able to house a small snake that can grow into the rack system. I'm not sure if a divider is best or what to do.

I'm wanting to aquire a pied and a banana in the near future. I don't have any plans on breeding, just collecting.
