Heres the whole setup.
Hatchling rack (9 slot - 12q tubs)
Adult rack (3 slot - 41q tubs)
The hatchling rack was built with high quality Birch 5/8" ply wood. Going to be sanded, finished, stained a dark cherry and sealed.
The Adult rack is a melamine rack I had laying around for a while...Changed it up a little. Soon to be 5/8" Birch as well. I noticed its ALOT sturdier than the melamine, and after its stained and sealed will look better than a high dolor PVC rack, but thats just my opinion.
I can set this rack up any way i want, because all the cuts are the exact same size (17" X 36") If I wanted to move the 41q tubs up top, I could, as the same with the 12q tubs to the bottom.
One reminder when building your own racks, and I completely over-saught this....Put card board on each level, than the tub on top, than screw in the shelf. I found this out the hard way, and had to disasemble the entire thing and start back to square one becuase my tubs were stuck. :x You want around an 1/8" gap between your tubs and shelves.
Adult rack is heated with 11" Flexwatt, and the hatchling rack is heated with 4" Flexwatt. The Ranco is mounted in a "secret" place to keep it away from my dumbass friends and small cousins from touching buttons that they shouldnt.
Im expecting a larger amount of snakes on Tuesday.
2007 1.0 Spider - 200g
2006 1.0 Pastel - 500g
2007 0.10 CBB - 1-150g
Im also adding to the hatchling rack...9 more tubs....Already got the stuff...just need to put it together. Im also going to be building another adult rack, as I see the need for it.
I have everything dialed in. Temps are stable to around 91.2 on the flexwatt, humidity is around 60%. Every thing is perfect.
Sorry for such a long post. Im done now.
