Rack System Heating ?'s

All man :)

I have the 2 herpstat pro's and I will never use anything else they are exceptional. I control a variety of racks, bearded dragons enclosures, ambient temps in two different rooms and will do incubators when needed.
I also have a animal plastics rack that holds 10 - 32 quart tubs that house my juvenile BP's. It is heated with a single heat cable that uses one plug to heat all. Mine is the indirect heat which works fine (I would have prefered underbelly but I got a great deal used) and it is real accurate in all levels I'm happy with it. The only downfall is all my other racks are on wheels which makes it real easy to move when needed and the A Plastic is not easliy moved. I live in dry southeren cali and the animal plastics hold humidity excellent. I also have Freedom breeder and Vision racks which are great but more expensive. The Vision is interesting because it can be set up several ways which makes it versatile. You can set up long tubs to pull out the front or small hatchling tubs to pull out the side or both at the same time. Look around and think whats best for you. You are looking at great equipment and will have happy snakes with the equipment you are looking at! :sunny:

Here is a pic of the Freedom Breeder next to the Animal plastics. The freedom has their CB70-8 tubs which are taller than CB70 tubs and are solid white with windows. The A plastics has 32 quart Sterlite tubs.

This is the Vision Rack, you can see I combined The Larger CB70-8 tubs and regular CB70 tubs. I like to give my big girls room to do the wild thing. Right now it's my cool down breeding rack.

Also you can see the herpstat pro and the 400 watt oil filled heater that controls rack and room temps.

Beeeeaauutiful! Did you make those enclosures next to the racks yourself?

Here's the website

The 400 watt is great becuase it doesn't trip breakers and is cheaper on the energy bills!.

The enclosures are made by my buddy Eric at Critter Condo's. We are desigining an enclosure for outside that is made of a rounded netting that animals can't scratch up their faces on. I keep my dragons outside when the weather permits and they love it. You can't beat real sunshine for health and color! :salute:
