Making Your Own Racking System - What does it take?

I am going to attempt to make my own racking system. I want to be able to hold about 12 snakes. So either a 1 massive "bookshelf case" split up 6 and 6 or 12 straight up and down shelving unit type thing.

Type of Wood?

Should it be on rollers if possible?

Should I have it have 2 hinged doors for flush appearance?

And just so I can get an idea of how much people built their racks for would be awesome.

My collection is growing, so I want to get everything all flush and clean looking. Thanks for all suggestions. :-)

Well, since you will be building your own, the possibilities are endless. I would reccomend doing a search on here for DIY racks and look through the many threads to get ideas about what you want.

Try looking at this, it's pretty good info! :gj:
Hope it helps out.

Hinged doors? My racks don't have doors, so I'm having trouble picturing that. I assume you'd mean glass or acrylic or something, to let in light, but I would think that would interfere a lot with ventilation...
