    Yeah you can you just need to use a deeper tub setup, they like a lil more room than a ball python. I know someone who does and they breed in a tub system.

    'can' and 'should' are two different things in my opinion. you can keep them in a rack and they might live and breed but you're taking a large, active, semi-arboreal and very intelligent snake and cooping it up in a tiny dark compartment... not really in the snake's best interest in my opinion.
    just my $0.02

    I'd personally keep adults in cages rather than a rack system because of their size and activity level.

    I will have to agree with Colin here. I would set them up in cages but if you must put them in a rack, I would suggest something like the VE-175 rack from AP cages.
