    are Reptile Basics Iris Racks good quality?

    Has anyone bought a rack system from Reptile Basics? if so, what is the quality? I am expecting my first clutch in a couple months and wanted to get a hatchling/jouvenile rack. This rack is pretty inexpensive at $239 for 12 tubs with heat, tubs and shipping included. Should I spend more money on the animal plastics ones? there is like a $200 difference when you consider shipping and you have to buy tubs with the animal plastics racks.

    I have the RBI hatchling rack (16 tub version) and love it.

    I have a couple of RBI IRIS racks, and honestly can't ever see myself using anything else.

    I will never buy a rack from anyone else. I just got mine yesterday and already am ready to order another one. Rich has the best customer service in the business and his racks are TOP quality.

    Re: are Reptile Basics Iris Racks good quality?

    Excellent! 3 for 3. I was hoping they were good. I have bought some hides and probe kit from him and you are right, he has great customer service and fast shipping. did you get the back or belly heat? do you know if the belly heat has a recessed groove for the heat tape?

    Thanks again
