New Rack

Part of my Tax Refund went into building a new melamine rack. I ordered some of the parts from Reptile Basics today (Thermostat and Heat Tape) and I finished constructing the structure:

Now all I gotta do is put on the trim and setup the heat tape once I got it and we'll be rocking!

Great looking rack. I think the next rack I build I am going to try melamine. :gj:

Very cool, are you going to tape down the heat tape. or router out part of the wood for the heat tape?? :salute:

Nice job:gj:

Is that 3/4'' ?

Going to Tape it down, you'll notice that the tubs have lids on them, I did this because the lids are perfect spacers.

Yes. :)

Each shelf is held in by 8 2" Screws on both sides. Props goes to Freakie_Frog and mxrider42 for asissting me with the exact screws and for proof reading my design. Once I'm done I'm going to give a full list of all that I used.

Yep that's true! What's sad is that I'm building this rack, and it'll almost be full immediately. My old rack is going to be used purely for Adults in 32Qt tubs (I'm sick of having Tubs on my dresser, and desk) and I'll only have 2 slots open on this new rack, so I'll need to build another new one in the near future. :taz:

how many bp's do you have

Right now, 12, but I have other snakes that go into the rack. And I also have more on the way.
