Hello!

I have a couple questions regarding the CB-70 3 tub rack by Reptile Basics if anyone has the time.

I actually don't have a ball python at the moment but I recently got very interested in them due to a friend showing me his snake, which allowed me to understand that these guys make for pretty chill pets. Knowing myself I would like to have multiple at some point so I opted for a rack instead of dealing with several tanks.

(Please note I am not going to consider tanks or aquariums, I do not wish people to try and sway me. I have made my decision based on my research and do not wish to argue which is better or worse, both have pros and cons which I am aware of. However in my case I feel a rack would work better for the climate and life I live.)

So my plan is to purchase a CB-70 3 or 5 tub rack. However that brings me to my first question.

Is it hard to assemble the CB-70 5 tub rack by Reptile Basics? Or is it easier to simply purchase more fully assembles CB-70 3 tub racks as my collection grows?

I'm not the best at building things however I do read instructions I just don't want to put my future snake(s) in danger if its extremely hard to assemble.


So I was curious if its possible to put babies-sub adults in these without a problem? Or would it be easier on the ball python to put the divider that can be bought in there so its not such a large space? I would (preferably) have both adults and young ball pythons in there (likely with divider for the young) and I just wanted to know if this is a good idea or not? I am willing to purchase the Vivarium Electronics VE-2 Rack if the CB-70 with dividers isn't appropriate for the younger ball pythons.

Can I keep babies and adult in a CB-70 rack with dividers with the young with no problem? Or would this be to stressful for the younger ball pythons? A water bowl and 1-2 hides would be in with all of them.

I think that's all my questions for now!

Thanks for any replies as it help both my decision making as well as researching.
