Completely sold on racks!
I out off racks for a long time for alot of my own personal reasons. Started with a tank, then upgraded to an AP T8 then eventually 2. I'd have hit and miss issues with sheds (one in particular), snakes go off feed and issues getting them back going. They've been in their rack a month now and 4/4 feeding off tongs with healthy feed response from all. If on the fence at all just make the switch, your snakes will thank you!*
*Other methods work and can work well, just sharing my personal experience for those researching.

Re: Completely sold on racks!
I resisted racks for a long time - but once I saw the difference between my ( non optimised - despite my opinions at the time ) tanks and the rack system I had to admit my snakes were happier. It's not that it can't work with tanks it's just that it takes a lot of attention to detail to get them to the same level.

Re: Completely sold on racks!
Yeap, I think racks are honestly the best for ball pythons (my opinions).
Before and after moving into rack is so different. My picky ball skipped meals very often, but after moving into rack he eats very very well.

I completely agree with you on this. Anyone who says otherwise does not know much about ball python behavior in the wild, these are not far reaching nomadic animals, they sit in an ant hill and wait for a rat to come by. They don't have much need to stretch out or explore and ideal humidity and temp gradients can be achieved way more easily. Once they are locked in it becomes a "set it and forget it" type scenario and makes diagnosing husbandry issues a breeze.
