Brand of Racks for Ball Pythons?

I currently own several Animal Plastic racks and one rack from C Serpents Racks and Reptiles. What is everyone's opinion on their favorite type of rack? I love my AP racks but they are bulky and expensive to ship. I love my V18 rack from C Serpents and will be getting several more in the future.

I have an older AP rack with heat cable and a RBI sweaterbox rack. I like both of them! :gj:

Ive had mine for about three years. They all have 3" belly flexwatt heattape

I think my RBI rack has 4" heat tape... Idk.

Before they have 3 inch now Rich is Going with 4 inch.... probably because new THG stuff have slightly lover wattage than flexwat.. I have 2 RBI one with 3 inch one with 4 inch and I love them :gj:

I also have 2 RBI sweaterbox racks. One 3 inch and one 4 inch. Both are awesome and work great.

How do the RBI compare in price to any of the other brands?

I love my Animal Plasitcs rack. Why do you think its bulky?

I really like te moors of ars racks, freedom breeder racks look cheap and this is basically and upgraded/nicer form of a freedom breeder that's my personal opinion ars had te best looking racks IMO.

I LOVE My RBI sweaterbox and CB-70 racks. I'll probably get another one soon for all my new additions that I'm getting.

I use Boaphile Ballroom racks. I just bought my fourth one. It took 5 weeks. They have 2 rows of 4in Flexwatt. They have 4 levels instead of the 3 for other similarly sized racks. I've been really happy with them.

I have 5 CSerpents racks and I am totally pleased with them. Well made and hold heat good, plus Chris is one of the nicest guys i've met in the reptile world. If you don't have one or haven't heard of them, give them a shot. Very good product. :gj:

I am running Animal Plastic Iris series Racks. I do not find them anymore "Bulky" than anything else i have run in the past. if anything a lot less.

How do you like the 900? Have one coming in soon.

We have three racks....my husband has two animal plastic racks, which are pretty versatile, which I love about that. However, my fave rack is still the custom made black pvc rack that buddy of mine had a friend of his make. I love the size,the way it looks, and the way it keeps perfect heat and humidity. He had two of these racks, 14 tubs apiece. He shrunk his collection and sold me the extra rack. After building my own racks outta melamine in the past and later switching to pvc, Ill never go back to melamine again.

Mainly because we are working out of our spare bedroom. If it wasn't for my husband, I would not be able to move them around. They are just really hard to move once they are all put together. I mean, I understand that there is no way to make them any less heavy but for the space I have to work with, I wish that maybe I would have chose a different style or go the economy rack way. Occasionally we have had some ASF hoppers get loose and they get trapped under there. It is a nightmare moving the racks to get to them or moving them for any reason actually. Since we have carpet for flooring, its not like I could put them on rollers to help either.

Use those furniture sliders! Its what we use. Makes movin heavy racks on carpet a BREEEZE :D

I'm loving my Breaking Balls racks :D

I like my Animal Plastics racks. I have mine on carpet as well and the casters make a big difference if you ever need to move them; well worth the $20 or $30 bucks extra to have them installed when I bought the racks. And a dog does wonders for ASF escapees, rack or no, lol! :gj:

Amen to the dog. We have a Doberman and boy does she let us know when something is not right. She has caught several for us that have ventured out of the snake room.

I love my ARS and I don't know if it's from the tubs being darker or what but my occasionally fussy eaters all eat better in it. Love the way they slide and don't get hung up or are too tight as well.

I have Animal plastics, C-Serpents and RBI as well and they all work well for less money. Still tough to beat the ARS though. :gj:

C-serpents racks after purchasing several from him ,i loved them so much i replaced all my animal plastics with his racks.
They are well made and hold temps extremely well.

I've used racks by Vision, Freedom Breeder, Boaphile, Monster-cages, and Animal Plastics. I prefer the Animal plastics racks for my adults and vision for my hatchlings.
