Built my first rack!!

I used plain white wood. The snakes are only in contact with 3/16" smooth peg board.

Good job. As long as the conditions for your gang is met, that's all that matters. :gj:

Haha you were just just kidding?

Forgive my lack of knowledge ahead of time.... But whats the diff in using the cb70 tubs and say a sterlite or rubbermaid? The shape of the tub is slightly different, would it be any harder to do built a rack like this with a cheap 40qt sterlite tub you think?

dang, where did you keep ten snakes before building this?

Looks good btw, definitely plenty of craftmanship :gj:

The cb-70 has allot of floor space. I couldnt find any sizes I liked locally. So I ordered the cb-70's from office depot for $12 a pop. My bp's where in various ten and 30 gallon tanks set up that I have aquired over time. For now the old tanks will be used for feeder breeding. The rack is much more space friendly.

o ok i gotcha. i kind of like the shape of those tubs you have vs the shapes of my sterlites too.

Is there any particular benefits to using wood to build them besides cost? as aposed to say PVC pipe to frame? ive been thinking and the racks i want to build will only be 4 tubs high to fit under some counters. and just have multiple under them. I thought pvc could possibly be cheaper and plunty stable since its only 4 high.....Just a thought, what do you think?

What was the total cost building this monster?


:D

Thanks for the help!

prolly alot cheaper than it took to build mine

It cost me about $250 in materials (tubs, wood, heat tape, hardware) not including the t-stat ($140). So about $39 a tub.
