question about racks...

i was just wondering if anyone kept different species of snakes in a single rack. i only have one BP, and am getting a lil corn in a week, so im not intrested in building a rack just yet, but as i further my collection i am sure i will need one. i just didn't know if i could keep a bp, a corn, a king ect. in a single rack?

the only problem i can come up with is the difference in temperatures.

I am pretty sure you can keep them all in one rack, as long as you are not keeping them in the same tub :) they should be fine.

The biggest problem with keeping them in the same rack is that most racks are built with all of the heat tape wired together. Thus, they all remain at the same temps and you wouldn't be able to keep a Corn and a Ball at the same temps.

However, if you built your own rack or if you found one that has different terminals per shelf, I see no problem in keeping different species in the same rack as long as they're controlled with different thermostats.

Lol im such a nub dont listen to meh haha.


xdeus, omg I just noticed you guys are out in monetery! Do you guys sell snakes in store or is it online only?

my ultimate plan is to make a 4 self rack with variable size tubs on each shelf. each for a different species of snake. and have them wired to 4 different thermostats or if they have a 4 channel thermostat, one of those.

maybe 3 tubs on the top (balls), 6 on the next two (kings and milks), and 1 on the bottem (BRB or RTB)

this sound good/do-able?

Since you are building it, yes it is very doable...Here is one I built that had hatchlings on the top and balls on the bottom. Wired to 2 different Thermostats...works like a charm.
