DIY Snake Rack - Freedom Breeder Tubs

[Rat160]

Yes thats $250 for wood. Heat tape we had on had so not sure on the cost. The tubs were $10 each plus shipping so another $240 for those so all together it was about $540 id guess.


Please excuse any errors sent from my crap phone.

Thanks. I just wanted to clarify for others reading this. I have built several racks so I had some idea of the cost.

Still, at $540, you're way under buying one already made. I hope the floor in that room is rock solid because I'm guessing there's a lot of weight in that corner.

BTW, what do you do with the salad tongs hanging on the side of the rack?

Essentially Yes. We have plans for a juvie rack and a female breeding rack. Just a matter of collecting funds lol.

Lol the salad tongs are actually loose rat catchers. When you drop a rat they run right under the racks. The tongs actually work GREAT for catching a loose rat without hurting them. Ive had to use them on several occasions.

i love the rack, you did a fantastic job. i have a similar rack, that would be beneficial if i converted it to two stacked instead. my question is, how to do you keep the two seperate racks together? how do you keep the top one from moving and so forth? thanks

Honestly they just sit on top of eachother. I think the weight of it holds it in place. On future racks we will be placing dowels in to hold them together. Thanks for the kind words.
