    I have some like that, but for snakes, they are not sturdy enough. Also there is not a base for each tub to keep the snakes secure, nor to fasten the heat tape for each tub.

    Many have tried and many have failed, it will not work your best option if you want an inexpensive rack is to build your own.

    If you're not handy with tools, check craigslist. You can usually find racks there for cheap. A word of caution though, most people don't bother to clean them before selling. You'll need bleach.

    Yes. It sucked and snakes can push their way out, or worse, partway out and get stuck and injured.
