    Picked up a new rack setup!
    I was going to buy a rack from Reptile Basics, but I'd been thinking about building my own instead. I was weighing pros and cons (cons being I have no idea what I'm doing), and, as is usual for me, I was browsing Craigslist. Imagine my surprise when I saw this beautiful pair of rack setups for sale!

    Not having any cash on me, the guy offered to trade for electronics. I traded a 26" LCD HDTV for this rack. He estimated it has about 300-350.00 worth of material and work into it, and not having to spend 300.00 on a new rack next month will save me a lot of money. Washed the tub Gene is in out really well, rinsed it, washed it, rinsed it (repeatedly), let it dry, and now he's home! He has a lot more room to roam now, he was in a 10 gallon tank before. It has space for eleven big tubs, but it came with six of the smaller tubs as well.

    @Simple Man, thank you for the fix, I would've fixed it last night but had to run to the ER with my brother in law. Already moved my current snake into it, he seems to like the extra room! I can't wait until next month though.

    quick questions, when you pull the tub out like a drawer, does it weigh down and tilt downwards? I've been meaning to build one myself when I have more BPs and I have always wondered if we need to make extra support at the bottom like a regular drawer.

    I haven't noticed any excess tilting, but the rack is deep enough so that when I pull the tub out far enough to grab the handles, any tipping is unnoticeable.
