Racks vs Cages

[O'Mathghamhna]

When my wife and I first started collecting we used tanks too.
When we got 10 balls reality set in and we decided it was time to make a smart move to a couple racks.
Could you imagine?? Who in their right mind would have over 50 snakes in tanks........

How on Earth do you have time to care for over 50 snakes?? Just the two of you?

I get my ball pythons out almost daily so they wouldnt really be neglected if they were in racks.

Perfect, then you shouldn't have any problems!

I've also had my male bp for almost 2 years and when he was a juvenile he would explore, but know that he is older I isn't really exploring. He just chills in his warm side hide 24-7.

This is the 50 gallon cage my one BP is currently in, and since I am serious about racks now I will plan on selling it. What do you guys think it's worth. It would come with everything in the picture except for the snake and bedding.

So I brought the idea up about racks to my dad, he seems okay with it, so I am pretty much 95% getting a rack in the future. But, until I get a rack, and since my new Firebee isn't here yet, I was thinking, to reduce the stress as much as possable for her, to buy a 16 quart bin with a UTH on a thermostat and put tape or something around the edges so she can't see out and have her in that until I get the rack. Would this be okay. I'm trying to represent a rack as much as possable without allready having one.

I think as long as you monitor your temps and humidity closely, that should be fine.

Beautiful setup! You will have to name your own price. I've seen some people sell setups like the one above including everything for as little as $100-$150, although it is all worth much more than that. So it just depends on what you're comfortable with.
