I had a 55g (split) housing a ball and a king. It was too heavy; hard to heat etc. I was considering a few different options (including a rack). I went with this:
Walmart sells a Black and Decker 4 Shelve for $29. I had a 10g laying around and bought a 20g used. This will let me keep 4 snakes against my wall (until I obtain enough to warrant a rack). It looks good and takes up less space than the 55g (pictured below).
You can fit a 20-29g on the top... a 10 standard will fit below (height restictions for standards). A 20-29g will fit 3rd down and same on bottom as the second down. Now there is plenty of room for a larger 2 3 and 4 (down) but it's restricted on height on standard glass aquariums. The next 2 will be custom to fill the width and height.
Question... I have the cheapo (with multiple locks!) screen lids on both. Will they tolerate a lot of lamp heat? My buddy says they've been known to melt on rare occasions (maybe lemon lids)
Also.. I want to keep heat and humidity in the top (20g for the ball)... put some black plastic over part of the mesh?
Here are before and after pics
