New Sterilite Drawer Cart Model

I picked this up from Target the other day thinking it could make an affordable little rack system. Unlike other Drawer Cart models, each tub has its own snap tight lid.

I was thinking about trying out some 11" flexwatt down the back and see how that goes.

what's the dimensions of each of those? and what are you going to house in them?

12 1/2" x 14" x 2 1/2"

My primary consideration was young Balls.

is 2.5" high enough? I dont even know if you could get a wterbowl low enough, or a hide?

Gook luck pal :gj:

You could improve the effectiveness of the tape if you cover the sides and back with insulated foam board.

Yeah, I was thinking to at least cover the back. Still have to order some flexwatt... you should hook me up with a good link where I can buy by the foot with the cord installed somewhere it won't take forever to ship... :)

Way to use me at will :8:

This size tub is bangin' for baby ball pythons :carrot:

when i bought dexter his little drawer wasn't very big at all... so i figure 2.5" would be fine...

rich sells and ships flexwatt quickly. his link is at the top of this site.

I think you will totally have to cover the sides too to ensure proper insulation. It will be cake to do :D

How tall is that thing?

www.cuewillhookitup.com

~23 1/2"

I went to Reptilebasics but didn't really understand how to order the flexwatt in the quantity I want...

Hey Cue, if I do back heat, should I overlap a bit under the bottom tub?

Oh yeah thanks for that link

is the back of that unit totally enclosed? if not something like this might work: http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=26752.

Nah..it will be ok. Just set the rack on a slab of that insulation foam board.

If RB does not have what you desire hit me up and I will whip up a wired section and send it your way. Do you already have a thermostat?

Here's the back:

Not enclosed but seems to me like a good candidate for back heat with the added foam board.

Cue, where do I get that? No thermostat yet, I'll have to work on getting another Helix. I am sure it will be sometime after Christmas... hopefully someone out there got me what I asked for, money. :P

Sweet, let us know how it turns out. Ill definatly be looking into a few of those.

Helix is the bomb :gj:

With the foamboard?

Yeah I love my Helix... it is controlling 4" flexwatt at the moment though. :(

Whoops :oops: You can get the foam board at Home Depot or Lowes. It has a R value rating of 9 and 1/2" thick available in 4x8' sheets. You can trim to size with a razor blade and attach to your rack with aluminum ducting tape.

My hero

This looks like an awesome idea for hatchlings.. I hope that they are available near me.. hope to hear how it worked out for you.

Well, the first stage of converting these drawers into a hatchling/juvie rack has been made... I ordered another Helix from Reptile Basics. :)

Next will be the foam board, and then some pestering of the Cueball for wired flexwatt.

Thats a good Idea!!! I think I will pick one up! MGreptiles.com has a good price on flexiwatt.

I cant wait to see what you do with this nice find! Make sure you post some pics when your done!

I've read a lot of not so great customer service reviews from them lately.

Really? Like what?

Like waiting months for your products.

It was probably when he was getting married and on his honeymoon, he said it would take along time then. He told me that my Flexiwatt could get hear in 3 days max.:D

Hay Rapture great find I hope they end up making a bigger model how much was it? Why don't you try belly heat on each enclosure? A small UTH maybe

Most of the horror stories I heard were from back ordered products that were still promised to be delivered.

I think the 11" flexwatt for back heat would be more practical and efficient.

So whens santa pythons comeing?!:P

Did anyone get this thing set up? Any Pics/ comments about it? I am thinking of using these for hatchlings

Im sure she did! Alls you need is Foam board, flexi watt, thermostat , and a few snakes!:rockon:

Maybe Rapture will pop up with a comment.

nicccce:)

Nope, never got this set up... I won't mention any names but I still haven't gotten the supplies for it! Hahahaha...

Anyway I'm not sure if this will ever get done or if I'm just going to give it to someone who needs it for what it is made for. I found a problem with the tub height... you can't really get any normal water bowls to work in it.

NICE! is there a problem with there being a gap in the shelf when it is closed? i noticed about a 1.5" gap when the drawers were closed in the one i wanted at walmart. this ok?

No its not, These have indidivual locking lids, escape proof.
Target is the only store with these.
