    Very nice! :gj: I wish I was proficient in wood work, and had the equipment. You don't happen to live in San Diego do you? :P

    Now that is my kind of rack! As stated, very clean looking. And at only 4 tubs, not overwhelming - perfect for the small collection of snakes.

    Thanks, I only made it 4 high to make it easier to lug to shows. It wont be used as i dont own enough snakes to justify raising my own yet :D

    wow, looks like a nice shop you have too! Just out of curiosity, about how much would you sell that rack for?

    Those look great but 2 things I would change. I would add another piece of wood in the middle of the screen for extra support and work as a food hopper. And I would move the legs back 4-6 inches from the front and cut the runners 4-6 inches short from the front. That way if you put in an automatic waterer you won't have issues with getting the tub out because the sipper is in the way.

    Thnks for the suggestions. I plumbed it today and dont have any issues with the runners. I think ill cut the runners back on the next ones anyway. It makes it easier to slide the tray back in.
