    C serpents racks
    Does anyone have any experience with the racks from C serpents?

    Who makes a better affordable rack?

    I'm going to be using it for a few balls and hognose.

    Also, I am a bit concerned about the snakes being able to slightly slide the tubs out, what have you guys done to avoid this?

    I saw them at the Orlando repticon show and I really wasn't impressed, they looked poorly made to me.

    I would recommend Animal Plastics or Reptile Basics

    I have racks from RBI and chris from c serpents. They are both excellent racks.

    I have both racks as well. They're both good. The RBI racks are prettier to look at but both serve their function.

    What do you guys do to keep the bins from being moved by the snakes? I'm only worried because I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 month son in the home.

    In that case it isn't the snakes moving the tubs that you need to worry about, it's the kids moving the tubs! Keep the rack in a locked room, or get/rig a rack that can lock with a key or combo lock.

    I planned on keeping the room under lock and key at all times. Its also a new home, so no weird holes in baseboards.

    All my racks are from chris(c serpents)and i have had zero problems with them.
    i am actually picking up another one at hamburg, next month.
    i had an animal plastics rack and when i first bought chris's rack i compared the thickness of the material chris's
    rack material was actually thicker than animal plastics.(animal plastics rack was giving away)
    I will stick with chris for now.and he actually makes custom sizes and configurations to fit your needs.

    Any chance you could post a few pics of them? I want to see the lip in front of the tubs, the area where the flexwatt sits, and if you don't mind where your probe is setup. I would greatly appreciate it.

    I can vouch for Chris, I have a rack from him myself. I have also been to his shop so I've seen a bunch of his racks in person. I will not buy from anyone else.

    I have not purchased anything from Chris (yet ;)), but he is always willing to talk and teach at shows when I have talked to him.

    Is there a back panel on them or are both the front and back open to air?

    I can't really tell from the pics, how much of a lip is there in front of the tubs?

    They are fully enclosed with a 1/8" back on them. The tubs sit far enough in that they are secure (don't know measurements).
