    I don't ever remember that being in any of the ones I ordered, I just stuck it through one of the holes in the back he had. Maybe he stopped doing it then, dunno.

    . Great rack! Chris makes quality incubators as well. What you can do is tape your thermometer probe to the outside and back of the tubs on each level and get your temp readings like that. Of course this will be a test run. Then once you've gotten a sense of the temps on each level do the same test run but just put the probes on the inside of the tubs and get those readings. This way you can decide how to set the thermostat so your temps are more accurately where you want them on each level. And this will be done before you set up your animals accordingly.

    Well I guess I need to buy some acurites then.. up to this point, I've only used a temp gun. .. i think I will be ok with just it actually. I've been gunning it every hour or so and I am only getting about a 1 or 2 degree variance from bottom to top. Everything seems to be going well. Going to the store tomorrow for some half sheet paper towel rolls and also aspen chips just in case I decide against the paper towels.. I'll put in a water bowl, put the humidity gauge in, and check it later in the day. ... the snakes should all be in it by the end of the day tomorrow.

    Paying close attention to #5. :)

    The hole shown in the picture was drilled by me. There weren't any pre drilled holes or points of entry for the probe.

    Very nice looking! Mind me asking how much this rack cost you?

    I bought along with the Ve-100. Put together, shipped, about 315.

    The snakes are in it. Just got done switching them. Temps are good, humidity is 63% (I like it a tad bit high.) so all is well in Josh's snake room. :)

    Now just waiting for my two new arrivals next week!! :)

    Cserpents.com is the website. It's really a GREAT quality. And his prices are very good. They are also stackable so I will definitely be adding another of these to the mix. Of course first I will have to get a juvenile or sub adult rack, because my guys are growing quite fast.

    I just took a look, good quality indeed, and with everything included too. Not to mention the prices aren't sky high either. I was looking at animal plastics the other day and they don't even come with tubs, and I'm pretty sure not with heat either.

    I will definitely keep them in mind. My fiance is more partial to vivariums though lol, which is fine because he intends to build them. I warned him that my snake addiction will eventually result in tubs being the easier and less costly option :rolleyes:
