Feel free to check out my rack! ;)

That explains SO much!! :neener:

Geesh Adam could you warn me please! I'm happily sipping coffee and reading threads and then I see that "Adam innocent" post and darn near choked to death accidentally inhaling hot coffee up my nose!!!

You explain that to my dear long suffering husband! :P

Looking at those tubs on here, the pictures are probably quite deceiving - what size/age of Ball Pythons can you store in each tub? They look quite small in the photos.

Also, when checking out the webpage for these racks, I found the following paragraph interesting:

When you compare apples to apples RhinoRaxx are your very best buy ! For instance; Take this rack as offered elsewhere. Our price is $349.00. Now deduct $45.00 for the best heating system available today. Deduct $30.00 because if you purchase a knock down version of a rack elsewhere, you will have to purchase your own tubs. Then deduct the $40.00 shipping others will charge you and our price after taking these things into account is only $234.00 in single rack quantities! Only $184.00 each when ordered in quantiies of eight! Plus the rack is ALREADY assembled. Now compare that to the competition. When you compare apples to apples RhinoRaxx are and have always been your very best buy !

He's saying that after deducting all these extra costs (shipping, heating, tubs), his racks are only $234, but in all reality, he's not deducting these cost, and in fact you aren't paying $234, rather the full $349. I'm not saying his price is too hight, but this paragraph seems a little "off," doesn't it? Am I just reading it wrong, or has he phrased this completely wrong? From the way he describes it, he's going to reduce the price of these items from the $349 price-tag, but actually doesn't.

I think what he's trying to show you is a stark comparison of basic rack pricing as his is a plug and play type of thing...the rack is fully assembled with heat installed and shipping included in his price. Some of the other manufacturers "may" seem cheaper but then when you add in your heating choice, assembly issues and shipping they may or may not be in fact cheaper. At least I think that was his point.

In the end lots of research and asking opinions from folks that are actually using a rack from a certain manufacturer is, I think, the way to get the best bang for your buck.

How so? ... he's just describing the "bare bones" price so that the consumer can compare his racks dollar for dollar with other manufacturers that do not include shipping, heat, & tubs in their pricing.

Who's more confusing ... the guy that gives one flat price for everything including shipping or the guy that advertises a "base price" and then starts adding money on for "extras"?

Made sense to me. :D:D:D

Those are 32qt Sterilite tubs, they're actually quite large. On Boaphile's site, they say that they're perfect for 4 1/2 ft Balls. I'm using mostly the 16qt tubs, in my rack, and I've heard that they can support up to around 700-800g snake. Remember that Balls like small, tight spaces. It may look small to you, but it'll be a more secure snake and will probably feed better for you as well!
