new set up pictures....

after i got my new rack yesterday (from nsreptiles.com), me and the woman spent 5 hours rearranging our living room. it was time for a change and the new rack jumped started us. i thought i would post some pictures to show everyone my new rack (which i love) and the new set up.

here is the rack and my first ball python's tank.

there is a table to the left of the rack where my crested gecko will be going.

Nice setup I actually like that rack alot, did the tubs come that way, or did you order them like that?

the tubs came with it, i just told Casey (the guy who owns nsreptiles) i wanted 4 15 qt tubs and 1 32 qt tub. i put the holes in them my self.

so far so good, the only trouble i am having is with humidity, so i added more holes and tomorrow we'll see if that helped.

the rack is well built and it only cost me $140 because i picked it up at the taylor reptile show instead of shipping it, i think it's like $170 shipped.

How the heating going? is the flexwatt on the hot side enough to keep the cool side around 82ish? i'm gonna be needing a rack fairly soon :D

the heating pretty good. i set the thermostat at 92 and bottom shelf sits at 87-89 and top shelf 91-92. so not to much of a difference. i pull the corns tubs out a little, so it is further away from the flex. this drops the temp a few degrees. it isn't enough heat from the flex to really to get the cool end up, but since my living room sits about 78-80 the cool end is a good 80-82 bottom and 83-85 top shelf.

what i was thinking of doing is putting a 3" piece down on the top shelf, so i can get that one a little hotter.

Looks good.. racks completely change (and improve!) the way that you keep snakes. I was so against them in the beginning; now I would never dream of going back to tanks. I am sure that you will love having a rack :)

with all your snakes i would hope you wouldn't want to keep them all in tanks haha. i only had three snakes when i decided to get a rack. and my girlfriend didn't want me to put our first snake fred in tub, so the rack was basically for 2 hatchling corn snakes. then i picked up a lil baby ball at the show i picked up the rack. so know i got 3 tubs with snakes in them... but the best part is, i got room for 2-3 more!!!!
