Snake racks

Whats the most efficient but cheap rack people have seen for storing baby bp's??

Sorry one that is build your own im looking for

I used the rack in this video and made a few adjustments to fit my needs. I have since added another rack to give my breeders some extra room. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EYC-UE2qsg 3' x 2' about 6' tall. I made mine to hold 18 26 qt tubs with tstat and heat tape for about $300. You can adjust it from hatchlings to breeders. I have since added another rack for breeders.

See here.......

For $350 you can get a lot for your money ;)

Corey by 41qt you do mean 41 quantity rack yes? And thanx to you botj they both look good im going to start piling up some preperations for it

It takes 41 quarts of liquid to fill it.

Ahhh i see so the under $300 one how many hatchlings could i have in that and what about the $350 one?

The directions are very clear in that post.

To build a 11 tub 28qt rack you need one full 4' x 8' sheet of material. The cuts must be perfect to get 12 pieces out of one sheet to make an 11 high rack. All cuts were done on a CNC machine where the XPVC was purchased.

To build an 11 high 41qt rack you need 2 full sheets..... there is enough "scrap" left to build either an 11 tub high 12qt rack, or an 11 high 6qt rack that holds 22 tubs.

The best bet is to buy a 4' x 8' sheet of melamine at Lowes for $40 and build your own. Cut the shelves to whatever size you want and use pine for the side supports.

It will be much heavier, but much cheaper than XPVC.

Im in the uk and whenever i google melamine particle board it comes up with mdf will mdf coated with melamine do it?

Melamine is MDF with an acrylic laminate, at least that's the only way I have seen it

ok thought so just wanted to be sure thanks

For the linked 41 rack what thermostat would work bare minimum for 12 baby snakes. I just want to make a decent environment for 2 weeks while I setup a main room.
