C Serpents Rack arriving today.

[Mangiapane85]

So as the title says, my rack is en route and it is arriving today. First ever rack, so expectations, things to make sure of? Anything you can give me.

It's the 8 tub v-18 hatchling/ grow out rack. Good for probably up to 500 grams. Then I will get a size up, probably a shoebox rack or one up from it.

So I will place the probe for the ve-100 in the middle rack. I will put my Kenyan Sand Boa at the top since heat rises right and the temp should be a little higher up there?.. the other 7 will be occupied by the pythons.

I ordered 14 small reptile basics hides and they arrived today but they are TOO small for most of them, so I guess I won't be using those. Once I have newborns though, they will fit fine.. for a month or two. But I'm considering not using a hide at all since the tubs are so deep, they should feel adequately safe in the very back yes?

Anyways, I plan on keeping to the paper towels for substrate. I thought about aspen chips, but the heat transfers better through the paper towels, none of my snakes burrow, except for the Kenyan and I will put aspen in his tube. and plus it's just easier to clean.

Anyways, I'm excited to get it setup. I'll definitely post pics. But any other advice that I should be given, it's much appreciated.
