    rack set up

    hey all!

    i'm going to be getting a rack soon and i was wondering if this would be big enough for females and males?

    http://www.reptilebasics.com/Iris-Sw...t-p-16197.html

    or would i have to get
    http://www.reptilebasics.com/Iris-CB...k-p-16183.html
    for the females?

    i will be breeding eventually and was wondering if the first is alright space wise for females.

    any help is greatly appreciated!

    thanks,
    jon

    I would go with option two. The females would enjoy the floor space, the height is simply a waste of space

    Re: rack set up

    well i have a personal preference of 32q's. plenty of room unless u start getting ur bps into the 3000g range then id go with the 42q. i have racks that are 15q i keep them in till they get about 650g then i put them in a 28q rack till they get about 1200g then i put them in a 32 quart. i dont have ne cb70 tubs or any 42 quart racks just yet because of the room factor. my bps all eat and live just fine but this is my personal preference. just make sure they are happy and healthy
    here is two racks 32q and 15q....
    belly heat also btw

    and the white rack to the left is 28q 5 levels with back heat 5 with belly

    only thing that bothers me about the raxx is the price difference.
