    anyone have 28qt rack plans they can share?
    just looking for some ideas using 28qt tubs... i may eventually build a baby rack but not until i start breeding. i have sub adult bps and corns atm. so i figure 2 28 qt each shelf or 1 41qt.

    whether it be melamine, pvc, plywood or just store bought utility racks modified. looking to spend under or around $300 total (including heating and thermostat)

    i figure close to 6 levels of 2 28qt tubs will suffice for now. so able to fit 12 28qt tubs. heating is optional so have at it and let me know what your ideas are :D

    I used an utility rack from Home Depot..its a 24" Deep shelving unit that cost me $50...I had peg board with out the holes cut to fit at the bottom of each shelf so that the snakes could not get out...I glued each sheet to the shelf with "Amazing Goo" (also bought at Home Depot)...let that dry over night and then place your first shelf upside down and placing the tubs upside ontop of that shelf, following the next shelf...measure for each pipe that holds the shelfs together and cut accordingly!The run all your flexwatt (I used 11" on all 4 shelves) all connected to one cord plugged into my thermostat. After its all put together use screws to hold it together but have someone help you adjust each shelf after your humidity is set in each tub cuz they will become tight!

    I attached a link below to a previous thread on the DIY Rack I built...also I spent about $150 for everything I needed.

    Let me know if you need anything further or better details...:cool:

    ..... I dont know why people ask for plans...

    Buy your tubs
    cut your shelves slightly bigger.
    Figure your spacing and attach them to the sides.

    Any plans you get will only work for the Exact tub used...
