Me too! :love:

Think about it this way - it's an investment that's going to last a long time.

I try to keep costs hush hush with Karl. He was standing by the rack and said "so, how much are you paying for this?" When I told him he went :O ! LOL

Not much he could say, we don't have community money, and any of our money left over after bills is our own to spend how we want! LOL

I haven't told him how much my hets are - no need for him to know. Seems he'd make the connection how much a pastel male would be when I told him how much they go for - but he was thinking what "we" could sell them for, not what "I'd" have to pay for one! Far be it from me to spell it out for him! LOL

robin, you'll have a good setup. after "we" pay the bills, i pay for extra stuff and then whatever is left, i get to spend. not too bad though, my wife(charmaine) is real cool about the snakes and likes them. having 3 kids is an expensive habit too! lol
when you start to add up all the costs, it is more than you think. you have to look long term and think realistic. it is certainly a cool hobby, that can make a return.

Denial is a blissfull place to be!

After this summer - I'll hopefully have my starting collection complete (get the boys home and three more girls) - so extra checks going forward will be towards at least one more rack like the one I picked up this weekend, a shoebox rack from Rich when I start breeding, and an incubator (I'm eyeing the Nature's Spirit one).

I pay the important bills, make sure there are Ramen noodles in the cabinet, unplug the phone so I don't get calls from the other creditors and buy some snakes!!

I keed, I keed!

Please let me know, Vaughn. Give me a call if you'd be willing to sell me a rack. I believe you've got the sizes of my kids.

Ophelia: 1096 grams; ~4'
Ody: 339 grams; ~2'

I've been checking out a few racks and so I'm sort of debating which one would work best. I'd LIKE to not spend more than $400 on the entire setup. I'll be purchasing a Helix Thermostat ASAP.

These are the ones I've narrowed it down to.

To keep the prices low for the Economy Line we do not pre-assemble these racks. Our machines cut these units to fit precisely together. Assembly will be easy, but you must pre-drill all screw holes so the melamine will not chip.

What is your goal for the rack? These are not big enough for adult BPs. You might want to think about getting something that will last you through adulthood of your snakes. You might be better off looking at a Boaphile Ballroom rack or an AP Iris 900.

I'm looking for something that's better than my glass vivs. Something that I can house Ophelia, Ody, and perhaps a couple more balls.
