    Custom Snake Rack

    I have spent many months researching how I wanted to design my rack. This is what I finally came up with.


    It is designed to hold six 41 qt Sterilite tubs, and six 12 qt Sterilite tubs. This combination of tubs allows me to be able to divide them for either sub-adults, or hatchlings. I used 4" Flexwatt belly heat, which is controlled by the Herpstat 1. I also am limited on space so I included room for the rabbit hutch, since we have a pet rabbit Don't worry, the rabbit doesn't know about the snakes, and the snakes can't get to the rabbit!

    Here is the breakdown of how much it cost me:

    Home Depot:
    -Foil Tape $7.88
    -Screws (2" long for melamine) $7.88
    -Two 3/4"x49"x97" melamine boards (will explain later how they are divided) $64.50
    -Dry erase board material as backboard $14.88
    -Tax from purchase $8.00
    Lowes (because Home Depot had run out):
    -Two 25' rolls of iron on melamine $10.94
    -DAP 9 oz White silicone $4.47
    -Three 8' long pieces of white edging to act as runners to protect the heat tape $8.01
    Walmart:
    -Six 41qt Sterilite Tubs $58.66
    -Six 12 oz Sterilite Tubs $24.00
    Online:
    -Herpstat 1 (including shipping) $149.00
    Reptile show:
    - 28 feet of 4" flexwatt that was pre-wired for me $100.00
    Total cost from start to finish, not including tools... because that's what friends are for :
    -$458.22

    The process of how I built the entire thing is on my blog, http://www.amaze-ballpython.com/

    I hope you like it
