racks

hello guys newbie i need some help i want 2 add more snake to my collection i have tanks i have 5 ball pythons. i would like a rack system i don't know what kind to get for my snakes. im getting at least 5 more in January at the show in white planes NY. CAN ANY BODY HELP ME THANKS FOR YOUR HELP:gj:

Well, it really depends on your environment. I keep my house chilly and live in a cold place and so I like racks that have walls and floor and lid. I have 4 racks from Reptile Basics and love them: http://www.reptilebasics.com/Iris-Sw...t-p-16197.html.

For younger snakes, or less secure snakes, I use the tub dividers :)

jasons jungle racks are very nice and made of pvc. But very pricey. I would recommend vision racks, if you are going to have a large collection and be breeding

Well, that's why I mentioned environment. I have 13 ball pythons and some are breeding and yet Vision Racks are not plausible for me since the tubs are not enclosed and so would never stay warm enough given my external environmental temps :)

OK SO I CAN GET 3 OF THESE RACKS DO YOU USE BELLY OR BACK HEAT AND THESE RACKS CAN FIT ADULT BALLS WITH NO PROBLEM I HAVE 2 GIRLS ABOUT 800 THEY LIKE TO BREAKOUT SO THESE WOULD BE GOOD FOR THEM. I LIVE IN NY YORK SO YEAH LIKE TO DAT ITS COLD I I HAVE A HEATER IN THE ROOM WITH THEM. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. WHERE DO U GET YOUR SNAKES FROM.:gj:

I use belly heat for all of my racks and it works well.

I have purchased snakes from NERD, 8Ball, and TSK. There are also many more breeders from whom I would purchase depending upon the type of snake I wanted to purchase. If I wanted another lemon pastel I'd go straight to NERD. If I wanted more mojo's I'd go to Jasballs. If I wanted a black pastel I'd go to Heather. So, it just depends. Think about what you want, do your research, and then call different breeders (or email them) and start a dialog :)
