Re: Looks like I'm building a rack
If I were to build a rack using 3/4'' melamine, 3 ft wide, 2 ft deep, 43'' high (5 shelves, 6 1/2'' inbetween shelves), do you think it would sag?
If so, what would be the best supports to add. Pics would help greatly.
Thanks.
Re: Looks like I'm building a rack
What size tub are you using?
For the larger sweater boxes and CB-70 type tubs I like to do this to limit the unsupported span:

For smaller sweater boxes like the 15 qt and shoe box tubs I will do a side by side like this:

But it all comes down to making housing for your reptiles in the smallest amount of space when you build a rack.
Re: Looks like I'm building a rack
I will mostly be housing them in 32 qts. My biggest female is around 1,100 grams, and I have another at 700, and a male at 500.
I think a 32 qt rack would be the best for me right now. Maybe next summer I can build an adult rack.
I have gone through so many different rack ideas to try and incorporate a 41, 32, and 15 qt set up, and have nearly gone insane.
A 32, I think, is the best choice I can make. It can hold 32's and 15's.
