RE: Question on racks for leo's.......

You should post some pictures of the rack and leos when you get everyone set up. :D

I've spoken to breeders and the general consensus is, breeding tubs are 28qt with 3-4 geckos per tub. For adults a 15qt tub is perfect for housing individually. I actually just ordered a v-18 rack for my Leos, can't wait for it to arrive.

The way it is going, me too. I started posting a little while back and I have got more info here than any other site. Seems like the other sites if your new they don't even bother to respond. It's like if your not in the click your not in. Not so- here.....

Ya those visions are sweet. and I do have some pvc racks for my ball pythons. But the cost of buying them is getting costly when you are buying alot to get a decent collection going. I am pretty handy when it comes to building though and I have a great idea for racks to be built soon. Got a great idea from you tube. just have to get the meterials together soon. These are going to be racks for my adult ball pythons and also for a hatchling rack.

I have nothing against professional racks, but I cannot justify spending that much money on something I can create myself with the exact specifications that I need. I don't have a heated room so I require at least two different sections of flexwatt, most places don't even offer that. If they did, it even MORE costly for me. I tell anyone with a power drill to do it them self considering Home Depot and Lowes will cut all of your sheets usually for free. After the pieces are cut, all you need is to screw them together and tape on the flexwatt, easy.

Although I love the leos and I currently have a little female, I plan on keeping and breeding fat tails. Leos are quite the species, but there is this "must have" thing with the fat tails, I can't explain why. Either way there is much more information about leos than AFTs that is pretty easily transferred.

I know what you mean about the "clicks" on other forums, I personally don't understand it. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of other forums out there, but there isn't the community like BP.net has.

I as well would love to see some pics when you get going!

Will try, I have to do some more research on putting pics up i'm sure someone has a thread on here some place. And to tell you the truth I may just forget about any other sites out there, Really who needs them when we got BP.NET!!!!!!

I just upload everything directly to photobucket. It's as easy as copying the IMG code directly to your new thread and it shows up perfectly for all to see. Try it, it's free and easy!

I believe this is true, I just can't see how all the hides (cold, hot, humid) and food/water/calcium bowls fit. I'd like to know, I can fit that many more geckos on my rack. :)

Well did a bit of research and was able to load pix. to member's gallery. I assume all I have to do is cut and paste to a thread... I will try soon. Maybe a trial run with a new post on pix. of my room. Thanks alot. I do have photobucket but if I can load them from here it may be easier.
