Can you post a pic of your "homemade" rack?
Snake rack, that is :) I want as many ideas I can see before building; can't decide whether to go with melamine, wood, or something else.

Very professional lookin Chris! I'll post pics of mine "still in the process"...as soon as I take a pic of it!! :giggle:
Re: Can you post a pic of your "homemade" rack?
Chris, I thought melamine and mdf were the same. They're not? I built a Melamine one and it is super heavy. Almost too heavy

Didn't take pics of the CB70's, but they are the same design as the open air ones above...either way you make them or buy them your end result will be this:

Hope some of this helps!

Re: Can you post a pic of your "homemade" rack?
There was already quite a long thread about my wife's rack - snake rack that I built that is :)
But, here is again. Very "quick-and-dirty" rack I put together with MDF to hold 5 sterilite 1996 / 74qt tubs.
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil.../8/8/rack3.jpg
These are quite large 44" tubs, so the dang thing is huge. But it holds the tubs nicely. I left the right side with a 1 foot opening, which is where I will wire flexwatt onto each shelf.
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil.../8/8/rack2.jpg
The flexwatt will be arriving Tuesday. Someone in the other thread asked to see it with the flexwatt wired up, so I will past a pic tuesday when it arrives and I slap it on. Hope this helps.

Great pics everyone! I like both the wood and mel; think that maybe the mel may be the way i go thought because I like the feel of it.. but is there a dif btw. mel and the mdf in Cue's pic? I like that rack by the way Cue; that's how I think I'll be doing it.

Mel. is basicly MDF with a white plastic coating. Holds out moisture. I will be useing Mel. on my rack.

I think the melamine is just refering to the plastic laminate coating. It is MDF but it's laminated. I think that's why melamine is recommended. Because the wood, or MDF is coated so it doesn't absorb odors or moisture as readily...wood without the coating soaks it all up... :O
Post above beat me to it ^^^^^ :oops:
