Racks and Thermostats

I also loved the RhinoRaxx and ordered one on 3-7, according to the email he sent me on the 12th it should arrive on the 18th! I also ordered the double thermostat they provide which is the Ranco ETC. I am really looking forward to opening that box! Anyway, that is the way I went for my first rack.

Where do you get a fail safe for a thermostat?
I plan on getting a Ve-100 so one that would work for it.

Basically you double up your t-stats.
Usually you would use an on/off style (like the VE100 or Zilla1000 in my case) to back up a proportional (VE200).

The 100 would get get plugged into the wall and the 200 would get plugged into the 100 that is serving as the fail safe.
Your 200 would be set to 89-93 and your 100 would be set to 95-99ish this way IF the 200 ever spikes the 100 will shot everything down.

You can do it with any thermostats but I used the VE for an example as you are getting one.;)

OK, now that my rack should be here tomorrow I need to know what to do...got 6 15 qt tubs & 2 32 qt tubs (sideways) and need to know whether I need 1 hide, 2 hides (wont happen in small tubs), or don't need em.....plz help (gotta get it finalized).

Your question is a bit of a thread hi-jack, but, since you asked...

You already answered your own question about having 2 hides in the 15 qt tubs, but I would offer at least one. The young BPs you'll keep in the smaller tubs will appreciate the security of having a hide.

Go with two hides in the 32 qt tubs. No reason not to. If your snakes don't use them, you can always take them out later.

Didn't wanna start a new thread & this one fit the thread name...

That's what I kinda thought I'd do, just wanted to be sure. So, where should I put the hide in the small one?....in the middle?

I've purchased a rack from Chris at CSerpents and don't have any complaints. He's located in South Florida from what I remember and I know he's delivered/met up with people within his area. Great rack by the way and his customer service is literally top notch, he really cares about his customers. He takes custom orders as well so let him know the dimensions you want and he can try to accommodate.

Yes, if it's a light weight hide like the ones from RBI, your snake will move it where he wants it.

Yeah, they'll just be the 8" flower pot holders on newspaper. Thanks a lot for the help.
