    The ARS is sweet but out of a lot of folks price range, and needs a heated room

    I LOVE my RBI sweaterbox rack. Same one that Rob has. For $280 you get the rack, the tubs, the heat, all assembled and shipped. Best deal out there imo. Plus you get Rich's customer service which is the best in the world. Im a customer for life. Ive also heard good things about Animal Plastics and the other companies mentioned in the thread. I would also tend to agree with the negative rep that Boapile has. Seems like many people end up frustrated after a transaction with Jeff.

    Nobody has mentioned C Serpents. They have the best pricing around and average a one week ship time from the day of purchase. I have been talking back and forth to them, they have answered all of my questions very quickly. I plan on picking up an 18 slot hatchling rack from them for $265 shipped with heat and tubs. You can't beat it when you need a rack fast! I usually build my own. I also have an 10 slot 15qt RBI rack that I picked up used on CL for super cheap ($75). It's very well made and I've bought a ton of other products from Rich, he has always had amazing customer service and competive prices as well.

    I saw C Serpent racks at a reptile show recently, they are cheap... but so is the build quality...

    I prefer Animal Plastics, but RBI is a close second.

    Someday I might get some ARS or Freedom Breeder racks, but those are not for someone just starting out... they are geared more towards large scale breeding.

    I picked up a Boaphile and am very happy with it. As mentioned the customer service could definitively be improved but he was very good about any questions over the phone. The only receipt I got was the one from paypal and there where no updates unless I called to ask but the rack is great and arrived when he said it would. I would buy from him again.

    Im in the same boat ,currently waiting for my tracking number so i can get my rack from Boaphile. Going on 7 weeks now, when i was told 5. I know alot of people on here swear by RBI and i am interested in getting one. But the one thing i noticed about them is that they dont make a 41 quart rack? Im pretty sure it said 37 quart. Is that large enough for an Adult Female BP and a Breeder male if you plan on breeding?

    They make a CB-70 rack, almost every large scale breeder uses the CB-70 tub for their female breeders.
