Thanks Matt, Adam & Christie!

Congrats!! :clap: Glad to hear it finally arrived. Looks like nice!! :D
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
Oh wow! Looks very nice, indeed. Are these setups usually for breeders, or for casual owners too? I'd really like to get into breeding eventually, so I'm just trying to suck up as much info as possible. Were I to actually know a local breeder, it would be nice, but as for now I'm left with only the Internet :)
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
Oh heck it's not like most of us "know" a bunch of big breeders LOL. We're just darned lucky on this forum to have a few of those breeders participate and take the time to share their collective wisdom. As well as lots of folks that have only one or two snakes but do very well with them and share their thoughts and suggestions as well. It's a great forum that way, everything from the person with one pet snake up to folks with hundreds of them (and some very expensive morphs to boot) and everyone in between.
There are a lot of racking options and suppliers. Racks can get very pricey so take your time, do the research and ask around so you get the one that would work for you from a reputable rack builder. We've got 6 balls and a boa and no racks...just a lot less flat free space than before LOL. I would sell a kidney somedays for a decent racking system but that will come in time.
There are also some rack plans online available for free if you are the handy sort and Matt (justcage) can advise and supply you with your heating needs.

nice set I was thinking about geting a rack.. but price too high for me..
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
Do they have a site I can visit so I can see price's???? very very nice!!!!
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
The rack I got was from Boaphile Plastics at http://www.boaphileplastics.com
It takes quite a while for shipping (5-7 weeks) because they don't make 'em 'till you order 'em.
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
I actually recently ordered a rack from Animal Plastics (rubbermaid 2221 series), takes two weeks shipped to my door, and am selling my two AP T3 cages. They work great, but I plan on getting more female bps, so a rack is the route i had to go.
My AP cages are for sale, so if anyone is interested, PM me.

I like those hides you have.. where'd you get them?

Awwww. I'm sure he is just fine, lol.
Re: New Rack (640x480) Dial-Up Warning
Poor guy was finishing his rat.. I opened the tub and he's frantically trying to get the tail down his throat and he's trying to bite me with a full mouth (no manners) I deserved a bite though.

I got the medium and the large for the larger tubs on the bottom of the rack. The mediums have about an inch or so of clearance to the side of the tub, should make for a very secure entrance to the hide.
