BRB and rack system?

I currently have a rack system from Paul Mitchell Herps- I picked it up at the last White Plains show.

I have four snakes- two ball pythons and two Brazilian Rainbow Boas. One of the BRBs is about a year old and is currently being housed in one of the bins on the rack system. The other BRB is a baby and is in a 16qt (I think) Sterilite container on top of the rack. The two bps are in the rack.

I know the BRBs are both eventually going to outgrow the rack system I have, which contains 34” x 17.5” x 5.3” boxes.

Is there a rack that would be big enough for BRBs and is a rack a good place to keep BRBs or would I be better off with two PVC cages? I haven't had any issues keeping humidity and temperature up. The older BRB is at about 70 degrees cold side and 85% humidity. The younger BRB is at 80 degrees cold side and 95% humidity.

My vote would be pvc cages to give them more vertical room. Mine really uses all the room he has to climb and explore.

I have seen some huge racks. I know AnimalPlastics just started making one but I think they would be overkill. I think the pvc would be the beret choice.

What temp is the warm side of the tub that has the younger BRB in it? Since the cool side is 80, I'm guessing the warm side is in the upper 80s which is too warm for a BRB. It's fine to keep them in a rack or pvc cages, it's whatever you would like better. :gj:

The warm side is 90 degrees. Should I change this? I read somewhere that baby BRBs need it more warm and more humid than older BRBs. Is this wrong?

Yes, 90 is to hot.

Anything over 85 is not suggested. Cut it back to the high 70's.

Thank you!
