Pastels and a rack

I built a 24 tub hatchling rack over the weekend and got my pastel clutch in there yesterday. 4/4 ate good size rat fuzzies for me last night, 3 were within 10 minutes. :banana: Here are some post-shed pics of the clutch.

Thanks. This is the first rack I haven't had built in heat. I'm going to see how it goes doing the hatchlings semi VPI style, leaving my snake room at 85 degrees. If I start having problems I'll run some 3" flex watt across the shelves, but I'm hoping they continue to eat and grow using only higher ambiant temps.

I was going to ask, it doesnt look like there is any heat tape in the back or on the shelves. Well good luck :gj:.

No worries, it's a good question. I like to mix it up with these guys. Since I raised the room temperature June 1st most of my balls have been staying on the cool side anyway.

looks like an awesome rack man

just wondering though, i am going to build my hatchling rack with the 6 qt sterilite tubs that are like the same style as the 15 qts. And i have seen the tubs you are using. The only thing was the lip on them was real little and didnt look like much to be able to pull it.

how have you experianced them being able to pull them open and stuff

yes very nice rack, good skills :gj:

They pull out fine for me. I left 1/16" gaps on tops when I made it, so they slide really easily. The lips are enough to get a hold of.

I have 4 clutches in the incubator, so it won't be long.
