The best racks? Homemade or over priced wallet killers?

home made is key , if you're able to do it.

All 7 of my current racks are homemade as well as 5 BD/Uro cages. I don't think I'd like the freedom breeder style reptile racks (rodent racks are a different story) for the reasons stated above about holding heat and humidity, but the AP and RBI racks do look nice. I build my own racks for two reasons...1. cost, and 2. I enjoy building the caging/racking about as much as I do keeping the animals. The first couple of racks I built have problems with sagging or having to deal with lids, but all of the newer ones are great after I figured out what does/doesn't work. Still heavy though.
