    Any idea about how to make a rack like freedom breeder/ars?

    I am referring to the type of rack, where it's slide in tubs in an open rack setup. I like the skeletal design and was considering using it to make a 2x4 version.

    Does anyone have any idea how to go about it? All the rack designs we have seem to amount to book shelves, where as our rodent racks are similar to the design, although not really right for snakes.

    Help appreciated.

    Beautiful. I have no idea how I didn't see this anywhere. Looks almost exactly like what I want.

    Follow up question:

    Instead of using Expanded PVC I know the sterilite tubs are made of either Polypropylene or Polyethylene.

    Now, if I were to get sheeting of them I am fairly certain I could use them to replace the PVC. But which one to get? HDPE or PP?

    I'm by no means an expert but all the plans I've found when searching use HDPE.

    I was looking at the same plans that were linked but I don't feel like it's very aesthetically pleasing to look at but also the open sides make me wonder if it will stress the snakes out because there's no real security. I'm also being more picky though.
