wire racks sturdy enough to hold tanks?

Does anybody use a wire rack like this https://www.target.com/p/adjustable-...3/-/A-13892293 to hold their tanks? Need to figure out a better situation to house my exo terra tanks for my crested geckos and my other exo terra for my BP. Website says each shelf can hold up to 350lbs. Just wondering what other peoples experiences are with these kind of racks and if they are sturdy enough

I use the wire racks from Lowe’s never been a problem I have three, two hold 6 tanks for my beeps and one hold my 2, 4ft enclosures for my dragons

The way I read it, I think they mean the total weight capacity is 350 lbs, not each shelf? That means 70 lbs/shelf, which sounds about right to me.

So weigh your tanks...if they are filled with sand & rocks, obviously they'll weigh more than some other furnishings would, but I'd guess they'll be fine.

These are the target shelves, hope this helpshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7ffc536cc8.jpg

I have that same set up for one python and two beardies. The beardies have tile flooring, very heavy, and 36” x 18” ExoTerras. Works well for over a year.

I find that picture very asthetically pleasing. Great job with the plants and everything else that just ties it all together. I use rack systems but really like the looks of this.

I agreed with Bistem. Looks great, Sonny!

Well thank you very much , when I was younger I just used tanks for babies and had Neodesha reptile cages. Unfortunately I had an accident that resulted in my becoming disabled and having to alter my life style dramatically. My wife is an incredible person, and since we met twenty years ago, always loved the fact I kept snakes. And five years ago when we started back in we decided this was the look we wanted. It’s also in the corner of our living room, so it’s so cool to be able to see it all the time. [emoji3]
