CB110 series

How come know one makes a rack system using the CB110 tubs, that tub seems like it would be a lot better for snakes such as boas with a whopping size of 19x39x6(roughly).
Although it might be a lot more money I would think companys would make these maybe in an economy style like Animal plastics makes with less pvc.

That tub just seems so much more useful for snake species who might require a little bigger than a cb70 and dont' want to buy a big cage.

any input?

ARS makes 33x26.5...

to be honest I'm really just digging pvc racks like boaphiles, and reptile basics because it's all i've used so far.
I do hope sometime in the future I will be able to purchase an ARS rack, I hvae done a lot of pricing out for his racks and well we'll see.

What about you, what do you prefer?

those are huge, that rack would be sweet but I didn't see that you can have belly heat.
As I am a big fan of belly heat for my snakes.

Animal plastics does make a rack for the Iris 900 series, which is slightly smaller than the CB110. They also make racks for the Sterilite 1960, which is slightly smaller than the 900. Those are both suitable for an adult BP.

I have a Freedom Breeder FB-CB708-2CMT rack. The tubs are 33" long x 27" wide and 8" tall.

I got the 11" heat panel option (belly heat). The tubs are solid colored with clear "windows" in the front. No, they are not PVC, but I love the FB/Design - especially with the less perforated lids and the solid tubs.

You can buy them by the level, at $125.00 per level.

I don't have a rack yet... For now I'm staying with nice AP display cages.

I really really really want to purchase a rack later on, but the main thing that's keeping me away is the room temperature. I can't heat one room by itself, it has to be the entire top floor of the house and my parents don't want that.

My AP cage really stays warm when it's cold in my room.

I'm not going to lie, that rack is pretty tight. I like it, but I think I'd have to go with ARS racks over freedom breeder racks.
I know there are a lot of freedom breeder lovers out there but I have heard nothing bad about ARS yet either and I know Brian is a really cool guy.

All you need to do is shut the door to your room, and get an oil filled heater.:D

Hahaha yeah hopefully when I move to Holland there'll be a spare room for the rack!

Do oil filled heaters really make such a big difference?

In Holland you have those hot water heaters...they look the same sort of...
Will that do the job??

Oil filled heaters are awesome, they make a huge difference. Mine is on low, and heats my whole room up to 80-82. And it still has 4x the power, and it barely shows on my electric bill.
You need to try it, I bought mine at lowes a year or so ago for I think $35 or so.

Trevor,
I'd say the best solution to your problem would be to buy some CB110's and build a rack yourself. You'd be surprised at how easy it is.

How much does the oil for these things cost?

When I move back to Holland the winters will be cold cold cold so I'll need something to heat up the rooms, especially if I want racks.

The oil is only warmed (as opposed to being burned), it never needs to be replaced or refilled.

It comes filled - so it's not an issue.

Very true Tim, I just wish I had all the tools. I did build a small 12qt-4 tub rack out of pvc from my work at my friends house a month or so ago, but it was outside and cold.
I might build a big rack like that someday, you have some great ideas on your website I mght have to look into.;)
