So, I know all "breeders" use racks simply for ease. They take up less room, easier to heat, clean, and keep consistent temps as well as easy security for the BPs. But has anyone ever bred without a rack? I'm sure I'm not the only python junky on here that has a nice, extensive collection simply as that, a collection. All of my snakes are kept in various custom furniture display cases that I have built. I do not plan on becoming a "breeder" per say but I do have a few snakes I would like to breed simply to produce a few combos for my own collection. Two of which I have never seen on the market, and one that I have but is waaaaay over priced ($6500) for what would be a display animal.
I have been debating on weather to try to pair in the enclosures and have a makeshift cover so they can have their sexy time behind closed doors. Or building a small rack to pair and let mom camp out til the eggs are on the ground. All of my snakes are so established in the displays, they are not shy nor nervous when people walk by or stand and look.
