From reptilebasics.com and it is a rack with belly heat and a Johnson thermostat and we opted for the built in night time cooling for future breeding. Also got a temp gun from them too it will all be here by the end of this coming week. All that for 410.00 bucks! Is that alot? Oh the rack holds eight tubs. 2 side by side with 4 rows.

The thermostat has a built in night time temp drop. It will drop the night time temps to whatever you set it at for breeding season. Rack Dimensions - 16 3/4" deep x 22 1/4" wide x 25 1/2" tall. Tub Dimensions - 10 1/2" x 15 3/4" x 5 1/2" (approx)/ 12.2 quarts.

I think 12 qt is too small for breeding....But in http://animalplastics.com/ the prices are kinda the same...but bigger sapce for bigger tubs...

Well I will eventually get a bigger one as right now all are under 400 grams. I have 6 1.1 Normals 1.1 Albinos and 1.0 Pinstripe and 0.1 Spider. This is the setup I have now but am planning on keeping the tubs in case. I am looking on animal plastics as we speak thanks for the site.

Re: Hunidity................
Pretty nice rack...i got one question though how did you do those holes on those tubs they look pretty neat...i've always tried to drill holes on mine but fail...the drill would torn a chunk out of the tub...so if you can tell me how you did them ill appreciate it...

Thanks! I did them with a drill just went reall slow with slight pressure till the bit stopped turning when it dug in and then went full blast and made perfect holes but if you do this be sure to get a sharp knife and go around the holes to smooth them off as some plastic will still stick and make sharp edges. As far as the rack I did not build it my brother's girlfriend did. If I would have made it I would have made it around the size tubs I was going to use and enclosed it so it would have kept the heat and humidity in and I wouldn't have had to have the lids on. Oh yeah by the way I only own 3 of the six the other 3 are my bro's and I am keeping them for him untill he goes back to NC. Then he will be taking his 3 with. That is why I needed to get a new rack cause I have been using this one.
