New Rack and Snakes!

Hello everyone. I have been surfing and building for a while now and finally decided it was as good a time as any to take some pics and let everyone finally see what i've got going on. Here are photos of my rack, some normal females, and my new male graziani pastel. Thanks for looking.

Yeah its all hand built. Next time i'm pretty sure im going to go with a premade rack system though. For the time and money spent, its extremely heavy and I feel like the melamine will wear out in the long haul. Not to mention, after all materials and trips to the store included its not really that cost effective. No matter, it does what its told as of now so im satisfied.

BTW where did i go wrong with the pictures? I followed the video and have posted in many forums before but I surely didn't mean to thumbnail them?????

Nice rack and that is a killer pastel!

Glad the Pastel got to you ok! Hope he does good things for you.

Your rack looks good, are you going to burn any air holes into your tubs for ventilation?

On your rack did you wire all the shelves sepretly? Also what theremostat are you using?

Very nice Pastel!

All of the tubs have holes in the sides. If you look in the very top picture you can see them pretty clearly.

All the the shelves are wired separately. I(Rich from RB) did this for two reasons. One since I do not have the entire rack filled I can just unplug a shelf or two as needed, and two since I may have to be moving I am going to need to take it all apart and having them wired separately will make disassembling and moving much easier. I am using a Herpstat ND right now and I have a Ranco that i need to wire up as a backup.

Thanks!! I kept telling myself to be patient and one real nice one will come along sooner or later. First sight I knew he was the one I was waiting for. Thanks again Becky!:gj:

Great job on the rack! If i didn't know any better, I would have thought you bought it. I do have one suggest...and that is to put something on each shelf so that the tub cant' come out unless intended and also as a way to ensure that they have been put back in place completely. I've seen where people have drilled holes into the shelf above so that a pin could hang down and catch the tub. Does that make sense? Otherwise, great job and beautiful bps!

I'm working on something like that but I haven't had a problem yet. My shelves are pretty tight in the first place. It will be more like a cheap insurance policy on the rack.

Can anyone help me out as to why my pictures come up as thumbnails?
