What type of enclosures do you use?

making a homemade rack is not hard...just think of it as building a shelfing unit or book case even. You need 2 sides, a back, and some shelves. You'll need to space out the shelves according to your tub preference and support the shelves inbetween the two sides...doesn't have to be fancey :P

I've got my BP housed in a really well made wooden enclosure. I'll post some pics somewhere, but I want to get some with Olaf walking (I taught him how to walk so he wouldn't need to slither as often) around in his palace.

Yes daniel please post your rack set up plans. i really like your rack

ha ha....i dont really have any plans....i just kinda bought some wood, tubs, and heating equipment and put it together.....it is not a complicated design....right now, i can upload some more pictures so that you can see how it is put together a little better...this week is finals week so that is all i can do for now...i have an exam tomorrow morning at 8 am ;)

I just uploaded two pics to the photos/enclosure section of my site.....it gives the idea of what i did...if you can wait until this weekend...i can take some measurements...

Looks quite easy. I may make something similar but with the heat tape on the back...i must think

snunior, not to get off topic but you may want to reconsider using flexwatt from the back. In another topic I talked about setting up my first homemade rack with "back heat". It just didn't do it for ambient tub temps...I have since changed to belly heat for each shelf in the rack and its MUCH better for stable temps without having to crank the tstat on the flexwatt.

Currently I have Mr. Bojangles housed in a screen-topped glass aquarium, but will transfer him over to a Sterilite enclosure later on this week thanks to some helpful advice and input from various users here. It should be much easier to control the climate this way, and on the bright side, I can use the aquarium to get some frogs or geckos that I've been wanting for a while :D

I'm sure that my room will be full of tanks within the next few months - raising these little buggers is quite addicting and fun! I'd really like to get into breeding eventually.

Good choice.

I house six boas in a rack setup that I just finished and I house two beards in their own 29g tall and I also house three cresties in a 55g octagon. I also keep two balls in their own 20g longs.
