RBI racks

Well, I think that I would rather go ahead and purchase a pre-made rack system instead of building my own for now. In that case, I wanted to know your opinion. On RBI's website it says that the Iris CB-70 rack system is ideal for adult BP's, and it's 30.6 qts, and then they have the Sweaterbox rack-30 qt low profile. My delemma is that I already have two BP's and I'm planning on getting more in the near future. The Iris rack only has 3 tubs, and as I already have two snakes, I would like a rack system that had more available tubs, like the sweaterbox rack which has 5 tubs. Since both tubs are 30 qts, would they both be ideal for Adult BP's?

Are you planning on getting any females or do you have any females? Adult males should do fine in 32 quart tubs, females will more than likely need 41 quarts.

I have one female and one male at the moment. The female turned a year old this month 500g and is 35", and the male is 8 months old 270g and ~2ft. I do plan on getting one more female or two.

Well, you could always get the sweaterbox or Iris rack, and put the males in there, and get a rack with 41 quart tubs for the females. *gives you an excuse for more balls lol*

Lol very true, but I was looking at RBI's site as well as LLLReptiles site, and the majority of the racks were built for 32 quart tubs, with the exception of the aborial racks but that kinda defeats the purpose. It looks like I might have to build my own racks for the different tub specifications then :(

Well let others chime in, but mostly females need the extra space cuz they do grow a bit bigger, also those 41 quarts will come in handy if you decide to breed also.

I think boaphile may carry the 41 quart, called the ball room rack or something along those lines, give that a try. :)

Wow. That was exactly what I needed! lol. and their thermostats are a decent price also! Thanks a ton!

If your looking for a thermostat I'd go with Rich at reptilebasics (thats where I got my ranco) good price, and fast shipping. :)

haha im so glad I looked at this post, I was about to ask pretty much the same question. :]!

I would also consider the Animal Plastics CB-70 series, under the "Iris Racks" section. CB-70 rarely have design changes, so you don't have to worry about discontinued or altered tub design. The smallest is 7 high, up to 9 high double-wide (18 CB-70s). They aren't the cheapest, you're still only looking at ~$80 per cage for the 7 high and ~$65 per cage for the biggest.

Rich uses all Iris tubs so no worries there. I have the sweaterbox racks and the Cb70s and like both.

I've got home made racks, vision cb-70 racks, two different kinds of boaphile racks (the ballroom rack and the rubbermaid 32qt racks) and a monster-cages rack. I prefer the one by monster-cages. www.monster-cages.com because of the way it's heated. Also Matt builds each one to order so you can specify exactly how many tubs you want in the rack. I think he charges $70.00 per slot for the cb70 racks.

I was thinking in response to the Boaphile racks suggestion, which I believe use Sterelite and Rubbermaid tubs.

iris tubs rock! no grooves for the gunk to get stuck in.



rich at reptile basics makes a good rack. a good bang for the buck.
