Ball Python Variety Racks
Could somebody point me in the direction of a link on where I could buy/make a rack that could house all three age groups (hatchling, juvenile, adult)? I only have a Lesser Platinum female at the moment but my projects will start soon enough to where I will need a rack system. I'm looking in advance so I can start ASAP if I need to build one. Btw my Lesser is 2 years old and is 3.5 feet long (is she still a juvenile or is she now considered an adult?). The racks will need to hold 3 or 4 adults, 5 or 6 juveniles, and a bunch of hatchlings.
I realize this question might have been asked before, I just couldn't find it anywhere on google or on this site. I couldn't even find a company who sells racks like that. So if you could, just post a link to a website and/or to another thread that answers this question. I would REALLLY appreciate it!
Thank you for your responses in advance!

Animal plastics makes hatchling/juvenal racks. These won't hold full grown adults, but should last a while. (I suggest the IRIS series racks)

Thank you very much for your quick reply! I'll look into both of those options. I'm relatively uncertain of what you mean by "but their racks aren't enclosed for the room that they are in will need to stay at least 75 degrees all the time (slightly higher is better)" I am about to look at their website so I will probably find out soon. Thanks again very much.

That means that their racks don't have side panels. Because of this the tubs are exposed and not well insulated. All racks work best in rooms that are at least 75 degrees but racks with open sides like vision racks (and the economy line rack from AP) are nearly impossible to maintain proper temperatures in without a heated room 75 or above.

You also have
http://www.animalplastics.com/ with some racks that accommodate juvies and adult males or females around 1500 grams.
And last option is to build your own.
Depending on how fast your collection is growing you might plan on using several racks one that can accommodate hatchlings one for juvies and one for adults.
I use animal plastics and I only use 2 sizes hatchlings and adults.
Ok, I think those are too pricey for my little projects Ill be doing. I appreciate the input tho. Thanks alot.
