My Ghetto Snake Rack

http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/...n/101_0507.jpg

Here it is!!

Figured I post to show I've been keeping my snakes. I am starting to build my new rack which I will post as soon as I'm done with that. But its just a 40 dollar shelving unit I got from home depot. I personally hate it but for 40 bucks its pretty cost effective lol.

Please feel free to post your pics of your "ghetto snake rack" if you have one, and let me know what you think please!! Thanks for checking it out :)

Hey if it works and the snakes keep humidity and temps the way they need it's just as good as any other rack.

Looks like your temp guages are all there and water spray along with your gum dispenser & chicken tongs.. yup you have it all.. :D

Like said above if it works and it is safe and temps & humid is good then who cares what it looks like. Save the hard earned cash and buy more snakes..lol:gj:

This is what I was using for some months, untill I got a 4 tub 32qt Rack from RBI a few weeks ago. A board from home depot, Flexwatt and Ranco (had to wire it, was fun) from RBI, and a few tubs from target. Lay it down in the floor, didnt look very appealing, but it got the job done! These are older pictures though.

As long as it gets the job done then w.e

Main thing with my set up is that it gets kind of annoying with the tubs that are stacked on one another, and all the wires. But as far as temps and all that it I'm fine. What I DO like about this shelving system is that if you using a dimmer like I am the ventilated shelves really help keep the heat build up at bay. I currently use a dimmer, and a thermostat because I have two types of UTH's at the moment. I have the thermostat working the flexwatt, and the dimmer working the zoomed's. Still would love to see some more "ghetto" setups keep em comin if you got one!!

I see a knife and what might be a butter dish on the floor? I didn't know snakes like to have their mice buttered! I'll have to try that! Does it make them take f/t any easier? Or just help with the food sliding down their throat? :D

I've done the ghetto snake rack thing before. It was more like Danny's (Danounet). We laid out cardboard on the floor, taped the flexwatt in place, and set tubs on top of it, using clips to keep the tubs securely closed. It worked perfectly. The snakes don't care, as long as their temps and humidity is good.

Here's couple of mine. :D

I know you do, and thats awesome man! I love the feeling of accomplishment after building something yourself. Can't wait until I get mine done. I actually love your rodent rack you built with the BIG mortar tubs thats gonna be my next build as well as CB70 build. I just can't wait for the sliding action, and no more lifting tubs off of one another haha

I realy want to build my own rack(s). But I decided it's probably better to wait Untill I own my own place. You never know what could happen... It's realy hard trying not getting more snakes :rolleyes:

Those are realy nice racks frogger! :bow:

Yeah I'm a total hater of freakie frog lol...The only reason I am able to increase my supply is because my father just built a house up here in upstate NY and the basement is massive!! So hes allowing me to build a nice size snake room down there until I do get my own place. Really awesome.....You could still have a mini rack of like 6 tubs probably without causing much fuss with tenants. Or just make a secret snake room haha

Haha when We moved to this appartment, I still had my board ghetto rack thing, We put it at the end of the walk in closet. But things were more complicated since I had just gotten a spider and her tub didnt fit in the board, and all the tubs were taken up space. By the time she was out of Quarantine, I was fed up with all the tubs everywhere.

So I went and bought my first rack http://www.reptilebasics.com/iris-sw...back-heat.html. Very nice rack, I would recomend it to anyone that has a small collection. They can be stacked on top of each other too for expansion. Now the snakes are in the rack, next to the bed, by the window.
