Adult ball racks

Thank you, I just checked out the site and I think thats where Ill purchasing my supplies for heating And I was reading about how the thermostate can be a bit off and how the rheostat needs very controlled room tempature- so for those of you with colder houses, what do you do do keep the heat up?

I second belly heat and using flexwatt from Reptilebasics. However, for controlling the heat you definitely want a high quality thermostat.

I personally went with the Herpstat Pro. I like it because it can independently control 4 different heat sources which is cheaper than buying 4 separate thermostats.

I use an oil filled heater to keep the room around 80-85 year a round and I use the Helix DBS1000 on all my racks.

I like belly heat and I get all my flexwatt and thermostats from rich at Reptilebasics.com. Stand up guy great to deal with.

Rich is great, and he will also put the clips and cords on the flex for you for free.

Yea he will.. But I feel the need to clarify that you have to buy the cord and clips and he installs them for free.

Thanks, I could have worded that a little better

Here is ours. My husband and I made it; I posted a thread last year about the building process. It is melamine that we had precut at Home Depot for free. I am heating it with a room temp of 80 degrees F. and Zoo-Med UTHs with rheostats. I am actually getting a new Helix for christmas (have one for my hatchlings and incubator; works GREAT!) and I will convert to Flexwatt on that.. I am counting the days. It is not that the UTHs are not good; they have served me well for years. But nothing beats a professional thermostat on flexwatt.

Did you every figure a way to keep your rack from sagging. (No pon intended) I was think of building one close to what you have. I was also planning on putting a back on it, and hope that it would keep the shevles from sagging.

Thanks Richard
