IMO, they are way to flimsy to use to house snakes in they have a lot of caps in them between the drawer itself and the housing.

This has been debated a lot. I have personally looked at several different styles of drawer type containers like this and have never saw one I would trust putting my animals in.

These are a better option, IMO.

They come with heat tape pre-wired and installed, and the price on the website includes shipping charges.

I've tried that exact option. Take it from me it doesn't work and it winds up being a huge hassle. Big big pita mistake. I sturdied it up as well
the issue with them is the way they are put together In the first place. You can never really make them sturdy enough for any snake.

Just to clarify, you're talking about the OP's option, and not the Ballroom Rack, right?

My pleasure. I do my best to send people to Jeff Ronne any time they need a caging solution. I just discovered him myself last year, and I couldn't be happier. In fact, I'll be ordering 4 more of those ballroom racks this fall. ^.^
