RBI vs Herp Enclosures

[Tainted Glory]

I'm in the market for a 4 tub 32qt rack. I've narrowed it down to these two companies. Can I go wrong with either? Both work out to about the same price (Herp Enclosure rack is on sale for $247 shipped with tubs while RBI is $255 with tubs, both with belly heat). The only real difference is RBI utilizes Iris tubs while HE uses Sterlite tubs.

I have a HerpEnclosures Rack from his Elite line and I love it. I'm also considering purchasing a Reptile Basic's rack as well. I believe you'd be happy with either one.

I have a Herp Enclosures rack and am very happy with it! I wouldn't hesitate it buying from RBI either. tough call.....

These are the kinds of responses I was looking for! I just wish either company offered a rack in white.

I'm probably going to go with RBI. They ship almost immediately so the wait shouldn't be too unbearable.

Anyone have any experience with Animal Plastics?

Anyone have any experience with Animal Plastics?

I just barely ordered an 18 Tub CB-70 rack from Animal Plastics, when speaking with them they were very helpful and nice. I even had to call two more times to change the order a bit, using flexwatt instead of heat cable and also to add the pins. Both times it was nothing but nice and helpful, and both times no extra charge. Was refreshing to deal with Mark and Danny.

I have Animal Plastics, Herp Enclosures and RB. I am pleased wtih all of them. All offer great customer service and the racks arrived on time and easy to put together. I can't say the same with Boaphile . . . even though I do like the juvi rack I got from them.

We have a Reptile Basics rack. It's the 8 tub juvi rack that uses Iris tubs and I just flat out adore this rack. It keeps temps beautifully, the snakes settled right in and never broke stride in feeding when moved into it and I'm a huge Iris tub fan. You can't beat Iris for tubs as far as I'm concerned. I love the pins that come with this rack. The snakes can't nudge their tubs forward and I use the pins to indicate whose got a prey in with them and whose finished up eating that night (suggested by Rich and it's a great visual aid when feeding multiple snakes).

No contest. I like good customer service and quality products! RBI gets my vote and my business. Not to say that Herpenclosures doesn't make a good product, but the other part...
