Converting!!

Ok, I've been doing alot of searching and a lot of thinking :confused: and i have almost decided on getting a small rack system for my Balls. I have lots of Questions and need some trusted guidence. So im asking.. Help!!
First off I only have 2 BP's and will probally get another in the hopefully distant future. I do not ever intend on breeding, just have a small collection. I really cant see spending $400 + on a rack.
There are two different vendors i'm really looking into now after searching high and low {RhinoRaxx and Reptile Basics} I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys may have on either or any other.
Also what do you think about belly heat v/s side or back heat?
And T-stats, Ranco v/s Johnson Controls?
Ok thanks for any comments or suggestions

reptile basics makes an affordable decent rack.


belly heat is more efficient

i like rancos, simple and reliable.

I'm quite satisfied with HerpEnclosures.com :)

You have one, I had looked @ those. What type of material are they made of? Thanks for the feedback.

With the one hatchling rack we have we bought it from Neil Golli...he's great. If you were interested in checking out another person.
His are made of expanded PVC I believe...super light.
With the small rack he did back heat, but with our large rack (holding adult Bp's) we did flex-watt belly heat. We only use Herpstat here.
Hope what little I can contribute helps ya :sunny:

I asked on another thread about Neil Golli, but I remember talking to him last spring and he was on his way up to meet Rich at ReptileBasics to pick up a truck load of racks to sell for him. So, I believe that the racks that Neil offers are the racks that Rich at ReptileBasics makes.

I really hope to find something that will do well with my babies as they grow. I saw a few that offered tub sizing that were too small for when they get older but they were side by side. I'm hoping that the 2 tubs could be replaced with 1 larger tub later. I e-mailed the vendor hoping that maybe this would be possiable. I'm still looking though.

And yes, thank you all for your gracious input. :)
