Cheap DIY rack.

Thank you very much!

That is what I was going to do (from The Frugal Herper's Snake Rack )

But I don't mind having lids. (unless it is too high, I will have to do something about it.)

But it is always a option, I have a huge pink styrofoam insulation sheet that I can use.

I will look into getting another ranco, I've always wanted on for my reef, but never has the need. (I use a aqua controller JR.)

It also amazed me how much the up charge is for a "pre wired" unit. (I ordered my unit from a HVAC website.)

Is there a way to add the next shelf and be able to remove the lids of the tubs? Ive seen setups like this before and its worked out good....its a thread called Frugal Herpers snake racks or something like that.

Yes, that setup will be fine for Bloods, no hot spot, just a constant low 80's should be fine.

You WILL want to keep a close eye on your setup though just in case you have a malfuntion on your thermostat, the snakes wont have any way to get off the heat. A double Ranco setup might be worthwhile to you later on. A second one can be added to the one you have coming with a little wiring, its a piece of cake.

Dont worry about the little gap between the tub and tape, it'll be just fine. My current hatchling tubs are the same type of deal and theres no issues.
