    The only reason i ask is because i want to start building a rack system and have not ever done this. I have never used sterilite housing at all. Any advice would be great. What are sweater boxes? and where could i get them? someone was throwing away this old cabinet thign that is great shape that i plan to turn into holding the housing.

    Would you recommend a Ball Python as a good starter snake?
    what about those all in one stackable drawers. Or this

    LOL - I have one of those I just cleaned out today - a taboret dealie. I was thinking the same thing you were and wodering how I would effectively heat it and that if I did use it it would have to be for smaller snakes - and I found way too many open seams and gaps which MIGHT be problematic. Not to mention they are really not deep enough to provide a good temperature gradient.

    well, any other ideas on building a rack system?

    Yep, most of the drawer setups like that have too many exits to be usable without major modification. However, the Sterilite ClearView 45 qt. drawers that are sold singly at Target don't have that problem and when combined with two small bungee cords (like the kind that come 20 in a jar for $5 at Target) and a couple of narrow, elongated holes (one on each end of the drawer face and one at the same level on each side at bungee length), they lock up tight enough to keep any bp small enough to fit them comfortably pretty securely inside. And because they're drawers, they're stackable. Oh, and they have a hole underneath the drawer suitable for a heat pad with a little airspace, but it won't let a snake escape as long as you use the bungee cords and keep it on a solid surface.

    marla, you don't have a picture of that setup, do you?

    Here's two of them with a bin on top. If you need a pic of how I did the bungee lock, I can snap you one, but don't have it yet.
