    Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    These new racks look very nice. I like that you can buy just one individual tub/rack.

    Very cool. Makes me want to go ahead and get the Honduran Milksnake I've been thinking about getting. I just didn't want to have to buy a ton of new equipment for one snake but with TGR I can spend very little to set him up.

    Do you all like the TGR racks - comments???

    Thanks

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    I currently have 3 FB10 single levels, and a rack from RBI. I love both. The TGR single levels are conveinient and affordable, and came about 2 weeks after I placed my order. Temps and humidity have never been an issue, either. Decent product for a decent price


    Get the milksnake!

    If you are looking for a single level rack, these seem to be very well built...

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    KayLynn - how do you like the heat tape that comes with these TGR racks/tubs?? I typically use RHP's for all my enclosures but obviously that is not an option with a tub. I tend to fear a fire hazard with heat tape.

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    Is it also correct that if you buy one unit - later on you can just continue to add levels?? Is that correct.

    Sounds like a win/win in my book

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    My other concern is the dark grey tubs - those would not let any light in?? I wouldn't want my snake to be in darkness all the time. Any thoughts. I didn't see on their website where I could change out the color of the tub on FB10 unit

    I don't like how their heat tape is suspended and sags so there is no consistent contact with the tub.. You can kinda see it here...

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    They are stackable, though you need the stacking clips they sell separately. The heat tape is ok. I like the way the tape in my RBI rack is wired better, but for single units the tape set up gets the job done. I have the TGR tubs on a separate tstat though, because I have to run it a little higher than my RBI tstat in order to maintain the proper temps in the tubs because of the suspended tape.

    I don't mind the grey tubs, I use those 3 single racks for 2 of my females who prefer the darker set up and my albino, who has some permanent health issues and is more prone to stress.

    Re: Anyone have experience with TGR racks

    Okay, Thank you.

    I just ordered a FB10 rack. I will get a separate thermostat also.

    Appreciate all your help.

    Maybe with the addition of a 3rd support rail would help with that problem. Has anyone alerted TGR to this concern??
