    All this RACK talk has got me thinking!

    I am starting to consider switching over to a rack system, only so I can get more snakes of course. Right now my corn and king are in glass tanks and Austin is in a huge Animal Plastics T-10 (4 ft long) and everything is great. The problem is they take up WAY too much room and I have had a tough time setting up shelves and dedicating a room to house them all in. I HATE the look of the tubs, mainly because I don't like the translucent plastic because you can't see what everyone is doing while they move around on their own and I prefer a large enclosure that can be decorated with plants, hides, etc.
    Sooooo, with that being said, does anybody know of any quality rack setups with large clear tubs that I'll be able to see what my guys and gals are doing.
    Thanks in advance for any info!

    there's lots of racks you can buy, premade with glass fronts

    i don't know the names of most of the racks out there but just looking down a few threads is this link:

    I thought a rack held plastic tubs vertically, the link you gave shows a cage which is just like my AP cage. I love it, but it is too bulky.

    oh okay, i didn't realize that's what you wanted. i suppose you would just try to find (or make) the tubs out of plexiglass... that would be clear.

    I use the sterilite 41qt tub and you can see what they are doing. Maybe not as clear as glass but you can still see into them.
