    RBI racks
    Well, I think that I would rather go ahead and purchase a pre-made rack system instead of building my own for now. In that case, I wanted to know your opinion. On RBI's website it says that the Iris CB-70 rack system is ideal for adult BP's, and it's 30.6 qts, and then they have the Sweaterbox rack-30 qt low profile. My delemma is that I already have two BP's and I'm planning on getting more in the near future. The Iris rack only has 3 tubs, and as I already have two snakes, I would like a rack system that had more available tubs, like the sweaterbox rack which has 5 tubs. Since both tubs are 30 qts, would they both be ideal for Adult BP's?

    Are you planning on getting any females or do you have any females? Adult males should do fine in 32 quart tubs, females will more than likely need 41 quarts.

    I have one female and one male at the moment. The female turned a year old this month 500g and is 35", and the male is 8 months old 270g and ~2ft. I do plan on getting one more female or two.

    Well, you could always get the sweaterbox or Iris rack, and put the males in there, and get a rack with 41 quart tubs for the females. *gives you an excuse for more balls lol*

    Lol very true, but I was looking at RBI's site as well as LLLReptiles site, and the majority of the racks were built for 32 quart tubs, with the exception of the aborial racks but that kinda defeats the purpose. It looks like I might have to build my own racks for the different tub specifications then :(

    Well let others chime in, but mostly females need the extra space cuz they do grow a bit bigger, also those 41 quarts will come in handy if you decide to breed also.

    I think boaphile may carry the 41 quart, called the ball room rack or something along those lines, give that a try. :)
