Looking for Vision rack pictures

I'd really like to take the next step up from my homemade racks to something more space-efficient and professional. These racks, from the looks of them, look like a good middle of the road rack. Until I can afford ARS, these might be it.

Does anyone have them? What can you say about them, good or bad? Could I get some pictures of the areas where the tubs slide in, the panel above the tub that makes the 'ceiling', and the heating system in place? I can't find detailed enough pictures on the site, and am curious as to how exactly they are set up and how they work compared to any other rack. Any gaps or spaces? How's humidity in them?

Thanks!

No one has these? Are they that bad? :tears:

I will try to remember to take a picture of mine tonight :)

I don't think they're bad - but I haven't used any other rack. They work fine for my needs

LOL...For the price they're ok...I loved the first couple I had...The levels are very inconsistent on the next ones I bought though...Some are so tight the tub is hard to slide and some are so loose I had a snake escape...I doubt I buy anymore Visions...

I like my Boaphile racks the best.

I do have 2 of them, the 32 quarts ones.

While I like their looks the rest I do not like that much, I can see myself trying the hatchling rack in the future to see how it goes, however as far as other racks I found them a little too wobbly for my taste when it come to housing larger individuals.

Ack, escapees Jon? Can't be having that. Shame, they're priced well. I'll check out the Boaphiles, thanks for the recommendation.

many don't like there open sides and back i have thought of a fix. Home Depot sells a thin insulated melamine that I cant fashion around the rack to better insulate it and make it look more like a traditional rack

I like them, but they are wobbly.

When you push the tubs back in for the large racks, the whole rack wobbles..

Temps are not an issue if your room is controlled.

I have never had escapees with the rack if it is built correctly.

But it can vary alot, so controlling them well is a must. Plus, I added another heat cord on each of the racks for my own sanity.

The Spacers that Vision cut are all different sizes...I need to break one rack completely down and add new spacers....I can't even use the top shelves because the top spacers are wrong too and the bolt doesn't go in!

Interesting. I know that you can get more no problem. I lost a few in the recent move for a rack that I never built, and I'm going to pick them up soon. Maybe call them??

Yes Pat its easy to get a shot of a Lydia when she isn't looking lol

So are things generally okay with the V-35 and smaller? I can deal with some amount of flimsy, and shore those suckers up somehow. Juvenile real estate is just at a premium here and I'm not at the point in this hobby where I can buy a bunch of 5 slot racks that size at $400 a piece. Eventually I'd love to have some ARS racks or something similar, but I got Champagne taste on a Pastel budget for now. :rofl: I just want something more space efficient than the melamine monsters taking up most of my basement. They need to go.

For CB70s I really like the 7 slot I have from AP and will probably order the larger stuff from them again or from Boaphile. I really really like the material they're made from.

Thanks guys for the help!

I have the arboreal one, ill get some photo's of it for you tonight after work. The heat rope is nice, but like someone else said, these racks are very wobbly, and if the tubs are too snug then your pulling the entire rack around trying to get the tubs out:mad:, after lots of modification its a nice little rack! Needless to say, i doubt i will be picking anymore up anytime soon.
