Good advice. Take your time. you can even build one of your handy enough. I build all of mine and for 1/4 the cost.

Is the 1860 also on AnimalPlastics? I would give myself more time.. but the way its working is Fiancee, Fiancee is giving me her credit card to do this and she really wanted to purchase something else.. so before she changes her mind!!! :D I only have one day to work my friends!!! :D

I promise if you rush you'll regret it also check out RBI www.reptilebasics.com Rich is a standup guy I have enjoyed doing business with him.

They have racks designed for three different brands of tubs (Iris, sterilite, and rubbermaid). The rubbermaids are not big enough for adults so you would choose between Iris and Sterilite. Both nice containers. It just comes down to which tub is easier/cheaper for you to purchase. The racks themselves are identical in construction, just slightly different dimension to fit the right tub.

CB-70=33.5"x17.75"x6"
1860= 34"X16"X6"

If you do decide to go with AP, they don't offer a five slot rack, but they do have a 6 slot. Nothing wrong with a little extra space!

check out www.jasons-jungle.com also I don't own any of his racks, but they appear to be of good quality and Jason is a great guy to deal with. I bought a few bp's from him last year. The folks over at AP also have incredible customer service. The boaphile racks are of good quality also, but I've hear many, many people complain of their service, or lack of it.

Jason has a 5 slot breeder rack that at 37"x22" would be big enough for even the largest ball pythons.

Who makes the 1860?

This was the rack I originally wanted to buy.. my concern is that the tubs are only 5 inches high??? is that enough height?..

that is just the part number for the sterilite containers from walmart. 1960 is the exact same tub, but thats the number they use at target.

Yup, 5" is fine. They're not climbers.

Well scratch that one... I just contacted Jason and he said he doesn't make the 5 Slot Breeder Unit anymore because there wasn't a good enough height for the tubs and when he'd close the draw on the snake while curled up on a rat.. he said he'd have to squish the snake to make the draw shut! :)
