Found Romeo! had to make rack fast!

[amcceney]

Last night at about 11:30 the neighbors knocked on the door saying they saw my snake out on the sidewalk so they put him in the flower pot on the porch. I'm so happy to have him back! He's not showing any signs of weight loss or RI but I put him right back in his cage to get him warmed back up immediately. I'm going to keep a close eye on his health to make sure he's really alright. JEEEsh it has to have been two weeks since he got out, but it felt like forever!

While he was gone however, I added two new bps to the collection, meaning I needed space for them, and I needed it fast. Here's the rack I built after staying up all night:


I havent gotten any flexwatt yet, for the meantime im still using my UTH's. I was suprised how fast it went together, especially with just some scrap materials from cheap old shelves.

My newest member of my BP family however, ('06 100% het albino male) is in quarantine because unfortunately the breeder I bought him from "unknowingly" delivered him with an RI. He came on Wed last week, and i put him directly into his bin setup upon arrival, with all the right temps/humidity. It wasn't until saturday when I opened his bin for the first time to find he's been drooling all over the place. Unfortunately with the holiday weekend I wont be able to get him to a Vet until Tues. I hope he'll be alright.

Any advice on the rack/ het with RI please let me know! feedback more than welcome!!

Nice rack.......I just bought one from ReptileBasics but i still have two snakes who dont fit into it so im going to try and build one similar to yours.

I seriously would have asked for a refund from the breeder....theres no way i would put up with that crap.

Who was the breeder ?

[amcceney]

not sure if im allowed to openly talk bad about a breeder in a thread so i'll pm you

[Brandon.O]

LOL oh beleive me, its been done before.....actually you might be helping somebody or saving them from from what your currently expieriencing by buying from that same breeder.

Ohh....also could you give me the measurements to the wood,I would REALLY appreciate that.

The tub's (41 quart ?) look like they fit perfectly, did you have a hard time fitting your UTH's under there ?? what kind of hardware did you use ? Ive got a bunch of 41 quart rubbermaids lying around.

[amcceney]

Well its not wood, I got 4 pieces of that plastic* shelving, not quite sure what the material is called im trying to find the name in past threads, but the sides and back were just scrap wood pieces from an old shelf.

The shelves are 4' by 16" they were 9 bucks each at walmart in the garage shelving section.

[amcceney]

oh yea and they are 41qt tubs and i put cardboard underneath to shim them up when i was determining how high the shelves should be.
This gave me the perfect amount of room for the uth/ flexwatt in the future.

[amcceney]

Hardware was just 1-1/4" screws, holds pretty money. That 30gal is pretty darn heavy too so the screws i'd say do the trick

[amcceney]

Does anybody know the best place to get flexxwatt? Or any other type of belly heat source?

www.reptilebasic.com is an excellent supplier for many of your herping needs.

Are those melamine shelves by any chance?
