Yeah...You're close by. do you need some help getting your set up right?

That rack you just posted, is it sealed? If not, you're going to have alot of problems with the wood retaining moisture and expanding/molding/falling apart.

Pet stores displays are not exactly your best example of how to properly house ball pythons. They are hoping this is a temporary situation until they sell them.

Don't add more until you can individually house them.

Robin,

Hey I kind of like the idea of the tubs and I would be interested in doing it since I soon will be picking up a 2 yr. old female shes about 3 feet now so I wanted to find out if the sizes of the tub will mater? My male is almost 2 feet now and hes few months I belive the pet store guy never told me the age. Please if you can post some pics and all the stuff I will need and where I can get it. Since its cheap I will give it a try and see how much I like it. Thank you.

we are using 31 qt rubbermaid tubs...

here is the supplies -- it should have been a 6 bin, but since one board was shorter on verticle and i got it 4 inches off floor i was one inch short so eventually i will replace the board but for now it will be the official feeding station.


7--- 5/8x16x48 --$4.98 each-- i had them cut to 32inch, still have 6 extra inches safety room.....

4-- 5/8x12x48---$3.75 each-- verticle boards..

1-- 2x4 peg board -- $3.97 ---- cut to 18 inch in width. use scrap as a spacer under tub when installing boards for shelves. mine are spaced 7 3/8 inch from bottom board to top of next board..

1-- 1 5/8 drywall screws-- $ 4.11

6- 31 qt rubbermaid tubs --- 6.97 each

6-- feet of flex watt--- $3.89 ft

6-- cords for flex watt cheaper this way-- 2.99 each\

1 thermostat --- 25.99


total price --- $ 167.03 w/o tax and shipping...
