    Breeding Rack Question for Aspiring Ball Python Breeder

    I currently have only 1 Female Ball and i want to get 2 co-dom morphs by the end of this year.

    My question is, for breeding racks, which one ( company and size) do you recommend for a beginner. Ive heard boaphile plastics is good and inexpensive (300-500) price range.

    Thanks alot for taking the time and answering =]

    I recommend Animal Plastics size will depends on the size of your animals.

    Reptile Basics is the way to go. Affordable and quality racks. on top of that Rich's customer service is 2nd to none. http://www.reptilebasics.com/reptile-rack-systems/

    i have no bias it just seemed that the plastics were gettin all the love. dont mean to highjack thread but what are the recomendations for hatchling racks. any brand better than other. this ties in with the OP. i will be haveing 3-4 clutches and was thinking along the lines of a 32 unit hatchling rack thought id see if any more experienced breeders had short cuts or ideas. for example what would be a nice rack to hold hatchlings and maybe as the grow to juvie sizes. are there tubs that could use dividers an what not thanks.

    You could always build your own racks. Whatever you decide to do you should buy enough tubs to house your future plans as well. Nothing sucks worse than having to expand your caging only to find out that your tubs have been discontinued.

    LOL i could only imagine that would be terrible hahaha. I only ask because it would be nice to have a rack like a 28 qt rack with dividers. and then i can use the tubs for juys as the age and if i decide for hold backs just a thought. I dunno. haha itll be like a year or so maybe theyll come out with something cool by then
