    What rack to get?

    This is one of those questions You post before bed and hope you wake up to replies.
    So...were going to.be getting a rack. Currently we has 4 balls, 2 juveniles (2.0) and two adults (1.1) so when tax season comes around were getting said rack, (maybe sooner if finances permit) and when tinley cones hopefully a few more snakes! So my question... what would be the best rack I could get, Because I have NO knowledge rack wise. I would LIKE it to stay between $200-$400 preferably with shipping. I seem stingy but I want my fest rack to last me a year Or two until I can get a much better one which then I can use this one for my quarantine process.. so. For the price, and to say hold 5-8 juveniles and 2-4 adults. (You never know what you might buy, but I don't want more then 10 snakes yet) what would be my beat bet? I'm open for all suggestions and personal points of view. I want to provide the best for my snakes and I could just buy one, but I want to know before hand that it's good.

    On a side note. Links to the exact rack would be awesome. thanks in advanced everyone!

    I have a reptile basics and a freedom breeder and love them both. The freedom breeder is a cb-70 and cost about 700. My reptile basics is a hatchling rack and I think was around 300. Ur price range limits u to reptile basics or u can make ur own. Reptile basics have very good racks. In the DIY section u can find plenty of instructions for making ur own rack.

    i would say build your own honestly. it is much easier to make it to your own specifications then to hope to find the rack of your dreams. just my personal thoughts. best of luck what ever you choose to do!!!!

    Re: What rack to get?

    If you want my opinion just build one yourself, BP.net has a wonderful DIY section with great ideas, im going to be building a rack that was posted in the DIY section very soon.

    All in all, save your money and donate some time into building your own. Projects are always fun, plus you will be saving that 400$.

    All of my racks are handmade. I'd much rather spend the $100-$150 on Chad making me a rack then $300 + on one on the internet
