    Need rack system input
    Torn between Reptilebasics and Cserpents mostly from reading here. Looking for pros cons.
    My biggest concern switching to rack/tubs is ambient temps. But from reading should be OK. So does one have a better heat tape set up? Give me the info.

    Maybe you have already checked them out but Animal Plastics is a top in the game as well. They have great customer service too. I have an economy rack from them that works great. I also just ordered my first cage from them today. Im excited!

    I ordered the a Economy model because the rack was going in my heated snake room so the solid walls were not a necessity for me.

    I was debating on a t8 split. I don't have a dedicated room so enclosed rack is a huge plus to help keep temps.

    Depending on the room temps you keep the enclosed sides of a rack may not be enough either. A split T8 may be a better choice if your home stays cool or you are worried the ambient temps will be low in a rack. With a pvc cage you can always add a RHP or even a lamp if needed.

    I just ordered a T8 today with a divider and a light. It is on sale right now and it their quick ship selection meaning it should be ready to ship when ordered. Was $242 shipped for me.

    I'm considering the t8 with UTH and some or rhp as well.

    My new rack from Chris at CSerpents is top notch.

    But to compare something like a T8 to a Rack of any sort is a bit tough I think. Since they are completely different.
