melemine questions

[TylerxToxic]

i'm so confused. lol
What is it?
What is so special about it?
where do you get it and usually how much is it?

Melamine is a MDF board that is covered in a thin white plastic film. It is readily available at your local lumber yard in 3/4" thick 4x8 sheets.

Many breeders use it because it is easy to keep clean, does not present an opportunity for the animal to get injured by splinters from wood, and resists bacteria growth in the right environment.

does anyone know how much it is?

I get a 4x8 sheet for $34 at my local home depot, and they will cut it to your dimensions if needed.

Here are 3 melamine racks, one with 41 quarts tubs, one with 6 quarts tubs and 1 with cat litter pans.



The only thing is that they are VERY heavy so if your snake room is upstairs and you plan on moving you need to keep that in mind.
