Rack ideas for big snakes?
So, I'm looking to buy the DragonHaus 41 quart rack for majority of my snakes including my ball pythons, colubrids and boas.
But there is such a huge debate on how much space is good. I'd really like to get large snakes like cribos, womas, bullsnakes etc but I dont think 6-8 foot snakes would do good in that kinda rack. Maaaaybe 6 foot but I dont know. What i really liked about Dragonhaus is they are pretty inexpensive but unfortunately it doesnt look like they offer bigger racks. I've tried looking all over but cant seem to find a rack that's a bang for your buck. I've tried making a rack myself by buying a shelf and tried to modify it but I'm just not good at that and my family doesnt exactly understand enough to help. So unfortunately I have to turn to buy. I dont mind spending 450+ but is there really ANY rack that's worth it? Worth it as in, more tubs per level etc. For large snakes. I've looked at snake discovery and their tubs but I just cant find what they use for their bullsnakes. I think its homemade.
Re: Rack ideas for big snakes?
As mentioned upthread, the best options for large, terrestrial snakes if you're going with a rack are probably going to be Freedom Breeder or ARS. Snake Discovery uses ARS for their bull snakes. Reptile Rapture, a well known reptile shop in Madison, WI uses Freedom Breeder. Both Snake Discovery and Reptile Rapture have YouTube videos explaining their racks and why they chose them. Either option is a substantial investment - $$$. We personally have one of the larger Freedom Breeder racks, 9 tubs total, for our ball pythons, and paid about 2 grand with shipping. Sometimes you can find used ones on FB or Craigslist, but because they're so well made, they don't depreciate in value much.
