Best Snake Rack to Purchase?

Firstly, I'm so sorry for another snake rack thread. There are millions, I know, but I couldn't find the answers to my questions.

I'm looking to buy racks to house a large variety of species. I'm current horrible when it comes to tub sizes, but I need hatchling racks, 32 quart racks, 41 quart racks, and something to maybe house bigger species of snakes, like carpet pythons (do they exist)? Also, something that can house leopard geckos, which I'm thinking 32 quarts or more for colonies.


Anyways, I want the best priced rack available with shipping, heat tape, and the price of tubs. I just need something that is nice for the animals and isn't bad quality.

So if someone could just give me some good details, that would be great, because I keep seeing post on, "Well, I have the _____ rack and it works for me." without any price or is it actually the best.

I really appreciate you taking your time and reading this. Any advice is happily taken.

Take a look at Reptile Basics and read their descriptions and prices.

Also, take a look at Freedom Breeder site

Or even Animal Plastics

Or Boa Master

And finally some have talked about RhinoRaxx from Boaphile

all of those site should help a little because they will give a description and a price. All I have is ball pythons and I use the Reptile Basics Iris rack and love it.

Hope this helps a little.

Freedom Breeder is by far the best, but also most expensive.
I would say Reptile Basics and Animal Plastics are great for the money and very economical.

I was originally looking at Rhinoraxx, but then I saw that it would take forever to get here (is that true?).

What is the difference between freedom breeders and the other racks?

Thanks!

Check out Chris from C serpents (he is on facebook). Ive dealt with rich and the other guys in the past and Chris is by far the man.

There is not really any rack that is suitable to house a wide variety of species. Carpets Royals gecko all have differing requirements. racks are about averages. They are all basically the same and the same temps and same conditions this method is best suites to the same species. Perhaps a different rack for each species and perhaps you could find a ambient that worked for all you have so they could be in the same controlled room. But in the same rack it is more compromise than correct. To maintain correct conditions for each you would need different shape 'drawers' for each. separate temperature zones for each and humidity conditions too. At this point it would be easier and better, and cheaper to have separate enclosures, each one could be tailored to the requirements of each species.

FB are metal frame racks. The others are PVC shelves.

I really like Animal Plastics. Good product, good customer service and not too expensive.

Oh, I know :) I'm just saying I need to buy a lot of different racks without trying to use too many words, ha ha.

Thanks
