    Need help in finding a rack

    Hi.

    I want to get a nice enclosure for all of my snakes but i don't like racks with tubs.
    So does anybody know where i could get something different(stackable,showcases whatever) or DIY plans.

    Try this: http://www.blueappleherps.com/page13/page5/page5.html

    Designed for two cages, but easily modified for more.

    How do you heat these?
    I mean you can't put flexwatt under the wood,or inside the terrarium?

    You have to buy a water proof UTH and regulate it with a thermostat. The Zoo Med are water proof as well as "most" other UTH's.

    I put flexwatt inside the viv just fine. Seal the connections with silicone, then lay a piece of plexiglass on top and seal that with silicone so that the entire thing is waterproof.

    Re: Need help in finding a rack

    I used a thin piece of vinyl to cover the heat pad... Check out my gallery and youll see some pics of the custom enclosures my father and I built. If you have any questions on it shoot me a PM. The vinyl was like 20$ for a massive roll at lowes and I have plenty left over... I plan on building 3 more cages this summer as I have some 07 females that will need a larger home. I built 4 cages for 400$ total... if you plan on buying plastic ones plan on paying like 300$ for 1... much cheaper to build em yourself... Also the cages we built are extremely easy to clean.
