Which rack system?

I was unaware of the carpet issue, so if my advice was misleading on another thread about the issue I apologize.

I was under the impression the only reason to put wood underneath was to get it further away from the draft.

I have the RBI CB70 3-tub rack and use an old 17" high Cargo solid oak coffee table as a pedestal for my rack. It's sturdy, keeps the rack off the carpet, and temps in all 3 tubs remain fairly uniform, even in my bottom tub.

Added benefit: I don't have to bend down as far to check temps.

Good luck to you with your new rack.

We use vision racks, very happy with them too.:cool:

All my racks are RBI but Im switching over to another mfg. Being in Florida and a controlled room I dont need fully enclosed PVC so Im switching to combo metal/pvc racks.

After a lot of going back and forth I decided on Sentec Caging. All of their racks are made out of anodized aluminum and pvc. For the money you cant beat it, their racks are comparable to Vision but for me the added benefits of flexwatt back heat, pvc tops so no dust getting trapped in all the grooves, and of course price.

Eric has been great to work with and my racks are being shipped this week. If you have any custom ideas ask him, he will build you what you want!

My climate (in San Francisco) is about as different from Florida as it gets! ;) And my bedroom, where the snakes are currently living, is always freezing cold... so it's probably best for me to get an enclosed rack, no? Thanks for the suggestion, though, and I'll check out what they have.

Btw, is the "vision rack" one of these? http://www.reptilebasics.com/Iris-Sh...s-p-16181.html

Lolo...yes Reptile basics is the best option for your situation, just my 2 cents

Vision racks are these..http://www.visionproducts.us/htm7/racks.html

I was just looking at the vision racks, and they're awfully expensive. Do they do custom orders? I noticed the smallest/cheapest one is 10 high, and I would only need 5 maximum... thanks for the advice!

Btw... I heard back from the guy at RBI, and he said they're too busy to do custom racks right now. :(

I recently bought the ap rubermaid 2220 rack and I love it. It has flexwatt belly heat which is perfect as I live in CT where it is always cold. I think the 7 slot rack was 330 delivered. The only down side I had was that they were very busy and I took a while to get but to thier defense they had great customer service and would always let me know if they might miss an expected ship date.
