    I have a Reptile Basics rack and love it! Rich is a great guy to deal with. :)

    Plastic tubs online are tough... plastic tubs at Lowes, Walmart, The Container Store, those are quite easy to find. :) And cheap at $4-13 a piece.

    I, too, hate racks but find myself needing to acquire one before long due to space restrictions. Better to go up than out. :)

    RBI is awesome, and I've heard good things about AP and Boaphile, but also check out Herp Enclosures. Those are the lowest prices I've yet seen.

    I have a Sterilite 1756 10 tub Herp Enclosures rack. The available dividers for the tubs are awesome and add versatility to the rack.

    I also recently bought an Iris CB-70 rack from Golli Reptiles.

    Both are great products. After getting the CB-70 rack, I really like the Iris tubs much better since there are no grooves and it's really easy to clean out poop!

    Others have mentioned Boaphile and AP, I hear good things about them as well. You really can't beat the convenience of a rack.

    I have 4 boaphile racks, and I really like them. I actually got my rack a week after my payment was received, but that is not a typical shipping schedule. I've never had any issues with contacting Ron, and have been very satisfied.

    If you're looking for other options you can also check out animal plastics as well.

    I have four 4-drawer racks from RBI and I love them!! I also have 2 sets of tub dividers that doubles the space when the snakes are young (each side is 16qt.)
    I really think that RBI can not be beat with their product and their customer service. Also, shipping is really really fast!!! :D

    I couldn't imagine having glass tanks all over my house :O

    I'd say build your own. There are many different plans online for different size tubs that you could get locally....and building would cut the price in half. Save the other half for more snakes!

    Re: Hey guys need some advice.
    I would built my own, since I'll be building four wooden stacking display cages for my corns this summer, but I don't really have the ability to make the measurements/cuts as precise as needed for a rack. So, my dilemma is: buy materials at 1/2-1/4 the price of a pre-made and screw up the construction OR pay through the nose for shipping of a rack I know will work out well. Choices choices...

    Not to mention that money is tighter than a misers pocket right now...
