Temporary Shelving Idea

Hey Daniel,


They have almost the same things at the Big Lots in our area, may want to take a look and save some $

hey jo, for temp use maybe you could use particle board shelves and build a little bookcase type unit that could hold the tubs. or maybe find a bookcase type kit that you just put together and add heat.

Sounds cool, where would the heat go? It looks like an indentation where the next would stack is that it? You so have to try this and get back to us (saves us the money and the experimenting!) :D

Ya...in the indentation area....I will probably end up trying it....when I get hatchlings......so you will have to wait a year or two :)

Nice find Daniel!

Adam, I didn't see that shelving unit when I looked. I like those shelves better than the all metal rack I found...thanks!

I am actually going to consider using them to make a bp rack for hatchlings in the future.

I have never seen anything like that used successfully. Although, over the years, I have heard a ton of sob stories about snakes escaping from those things. Personally, I'm not a big fan.

Alot of the similar setups like that have open spaces around the edge of the tub...something could easily escape from those....the ones I saw did not have that space...actually looked kinda escapeproof...like I said....in 1-2 years...if they are still available...if I produce any hatchlings...if they are cheaper than other options...if i can get them heated properly....THEN I just might give them a shot and see how well they work :)

I'd just hate to see someone just getting started in the hobby try and make something that "looks like" what you posted work as a permanent housing solution.
