Pros vs Cons of having a rack system

[DooLittle]

Belly heat, taped to shelf itself, under tub, not on the tub itself. So tub slides over it. That way you can remove tub for cleaning if needed.

Once you go rack, you never go back

Cons: when you have an empty slot you have to fill it and than you have to buy another rack because you're out of room.......it's a never ending story

But like Raul said

Are there any cons to a rack system? The price I saw for what I might be interested in was right around $300 which I thought was reasonable and I know there is a wait time from when you order.

Thanks in advance for opinions.

The tubs are clear, so light passes through. The dimness just makes the snakes happy--they'd be hiding in burrows during the day anyhow.

The only con I am aware of: You cannot see the animals in there very well, so they're not good for display.

Thanks again for the replies!

I'm pretty sure I'm going with Animal Plastics. I emailed them with a couple questions and Ali emailed me back within a few hours!

I think I am going to go with the 4 row rack that can hold both 15 and 32 quart tubs which should last me awhile with both snakes being so small and I'll get another rack once they are ready to size up. I already have "ideas" for the two empty slots.
After doing some thermostat research I'm going to go with the Herpstat 1. I'll feel better having a relay just in case something goes wrong.

Cons? What Cons?
