    I think it was in the DIY section or Ball Python section on the Reptster forums. No plans though. For specs I had a buddy help me. I'm bad with trying to figure out how many cuts I can get out of a sheet of plastic

I think Gerry had posted that the average price was $90-$120. If you pay more than that you're getting the shaft. Good luck!
    What an awesome post Jamie. I have been debating the idea as well, since I have been watching Sean use this stuff for about 2 years now. He does his racks slightly differnet (i.e. he routes grooves in the legs for the shelves to slide into. It makes the "screwing" a bit easier (no pun intended). By the way, your rack looks great (again no pun intended). The last comment I wanted to make, is concerning why I quoted your above post. When looking for Expanded PVC, also make sure to ask (if it makes no difference to you) what the price is of the white pvc. White expanded PVC is usually cheaper than the black. So, if color doesn't matter, you can save a few more bucks as well.

    Thanks Tim! Most people are impressed with my rack and I love to show it off! Didn't know that about the white but I like it all to look the same. Once you go black or something...

    Can't wait to see what you come up with!
