Combination Beardie enclosure/rack system

No problems with our 41 qt tubs in sideways. I can pull them way out even with 2,000 gram females in them, change water and paper like normal. Just give yourself a little extra depth to make sure you can push the bins ALL the way in with some extra room. My bins are a little floppy and if they were flush with the shelf, I think the big girls could push out. Or put a pin lock on each of them.

Let me know if I need to explain more.

Thank you! If i remember correctly the 41's are 16.5 wide, and the shelves i plan on making will be about 23" (the overall outside diameter is 24") but you bring up an excellent point, so maybe ill add a 2" lip around the outside of the tubs to help secure it from moving around much.

Sounds good, just wanted you to be aware of my concern. That will look great though! Make sure you won't need to move any time soon because it's going to be heavy!!!

I appriciate it! and it will be able to be broken down into atleast 3 pieces (racks, beardie enclosure, cabinet base) to make it slightly easier to move hahaha
