For your RBI rack owners...

Even though it stays between 82 and 86 in the snake room, the floor gets cold starting in September and is freezing in the winter time. I finally got around to building pedestals for my Reptile Basics racks. Just 2x4s with OSB on top and R13 insulation in the underside. Now those bottom tubs are staying just as warm as the others! Thanks to my buddy Rich for the idea!

Still too lazy...It took me a year to get around to building them! Let me get my new rack built next week and then I might do it. I need space for all my new acquisitions! ;)

when you muster up the energy to spray paint them, use wood putty to cover the screws, sand it and spray paint it flat black. It'll look like it was made for the racks!

Did the same thing but used 2x6s (I too am lazy)

You didnt see where I am lazy too?

I need to do the same. I usually just don't use the bottom shelves when it's cold. However, I need to.
