I am looking into getting an AP economy rack (cb70 3 slot) and was wondering what your thoughts were on it holding hot spot temps in a heated room. My herp room stays at about 78f all year (if not warmer in the summer) and I would need to maintain hotspots at about 95-100f (for blue tongue skinks). Do you think the open-sided racks would be able to maintain that high of a hot spot in a 78f room?

Also, for those that have them, what are your thoughts on stability of these racks? I will need to use bedding in the tubs (either aspen or Cyprus mulch), so they will need to support some weight... I might end up having this rack do double duty later on (i.e. might need to switch it to holding BPs), so whether or not it is sturdy enough to support adult females would be good to know as well.

Thanks for your feedback and help!
