Reptile Basics CB-70 Questions

[FuzzyCupcakes]

Hello!

I have a couple questions regarding the CB-70 3 tub rack by Reptile Basics if anyone has the time.

I actually don't have a ball python at the moment but I recently got very interested in them due to a friend showing me his snake, which allowed me to understand that these guys make for pretty chill pets. Knowing myself I would like to have multiple at some point so I opted for a rack instead of dealing with several tanks.

(Please note I am not going to consider tanks or aquariums, I do not wish people to try and sway me. I have made my decision based on my research and do not wish to argue which is better or worse, both have pros and cons which I am aware of. However in my case I feel a rack would work better for the climate and life I live.)

So my plan is to purchase a CB-70 3 or 5 tub rack. However that brings me to my first question.

Is it hard to assemble the CB-70 5 tub rack by Reptile Basics? Or is it easier to simply purchase more fully assembles CB-70 3 tub racks as my collection grows?

I'm not the best at building things however I do read instructions I just don't want to put my future snake(s) in danger if its extremely hard to assemble.


So I was curious if its possible to put babies-sub adults in these without a problem? Or would it be easier on the ball python to put the divider that can be bought in there so its not such a large space? I would (preferably) have both adults and young ball pythons in there (likely with divider for the young) and I just wanted to know if this is a good idea or not? I am willing to purchase the Vivarium Electronics VE-2 Rack if the CB-70 with dividers isn't appropriate for the younger ball pythons.

Can I keep babies and adult in a CB-70 rack with dividers with the young with no problem? Or would this be to stressful for the younger ball pythons? A water bowl and 1-2 hides would be in with all of them.

I think that's all my questions for now!

Thanks for any replies as it help both my decision making as well as researching.

Ok, i myself have RBI ve2 and 6. Its a great rack, versatile, holds temp and humidity very well. The largest tub for the ve 2/6 can accommodate a 900 to 1000 gram but would not go any larger in the ve2/6 tubs. I also have a Cb70 3 shelf on the way. I don't need the 5 any time soon as I only have 2 that can utilize that size, one at 990 and another at 1043. I take those 2 out every day just so they can stretch out good and get some "excersize". Attached pic u can see the ve2/6 stacked in the back ground. Also, that's a 1000gram pinstripe in the largest tub(water bowl was added, had just got her home). What your plans are would decide on which rack you would buy.

Thanks so much oodat!

This actually made up my mind! I think I will in fact go with the VE2 as it looks like it would definitely suit my needs for the next couple years. Once they do reach the appropriate grams I can always upgrade to the CB-70.

Thanks for including pictures as well! They were a large help!
