    New enclosure advice
    I was wondering if you guys can help me understand this better.
    Would this be efficient enough for 5 full grown BPs? I only have 3 BP's right now that are young. I plan on getting two more and I plan on keeping them till they are full grown and some. I'm not too familiar with the rack systems and the cage systems these companies offer are just out of my price range. Also maybe you guys would understand the specs more for me. Does this particular rack come with heat for all tubs, lighting etc? Or is lighting not needed. Does this particular rack hold the humidity BP's need? My enclosers are horrible when it comes to holding humidity and I really feel its not healthy for my snakes! Maybe I have a real dry house or room.. either way would this eliminate that problem.

    check out the 1860/1960 racks from AP. I have their big 18 slot unit and it works great.

    Aren't CB-70 racks Ideal for larger breeding size females, and a little too big for anything else?

    They are good for adults. In my 1960 rack I have everything from a 300 g female up to a 1900 g female. I only have the 300 in there because I have yet to make a hatchling rack. She eats every week no questions asked too.

    I see there is a lot of different CB-70's
    there is IrisCB-70(9) 18 Tubs.. 9 tubs.. etc..
    I don't know if I want such a high rack considering I don't think I'll own more then 5 snakes at once. At least not anytime soon! I always thought the RhinoRaxx where made better?.. Please continue to help me get the right one! I want to make a purchase at the end of the day! I really appreciate everyones help. :rockon:

    Also what is better.. Belly heat or Back heat???

    Do yourself a favor and give yourself more than one day to research this. There are a lot of options out there. I suggested the 1860 rack only because the tubs are cheaper and more readily available. The CB-70 is also a good tub for adults.
