    My glass terrarium setup.

    I went down to Home Depot and bought a shelving set for about 70 bucks ane threw it together as a way to house all my babies in their tanks. We had to switch out of tubs after my wife freaked out when one of the animals escaped. ( it was found ) Either way, heres a picture of the current setup Its a pretty efficient use of space, only lines one part of a small wall in our house. Lets me provide proper care for the animal and allows me to still be able to look at them.

    Nice set-up. Very tidy. I use to have tanks all over the place and I wound up just putting them all side by side and ran a single strip of 11" flexwatt under all of them.

    Excellent question. The tanks are relatively lightweight and the particle board underneath is typically covered with a type of silk or fleece or some other relatively inexpensive material you can get at a craft store. It is then just a matter of sliding the tank out just a hair, or turning it just a hair. Top slides or lifts open and you reach in and done.

    i wish i would have thought of something like this, but i've already started buying stuff to get my guys into tubs. they'll still be on a wire shelf thing, just not a rack. Oh well. Nice solution ya got though!

    Re: My glass terrarium setup.

    Just don't forget to cover the back and sides of those tanks for security and insulation. Otherwise looks pretty good.

    I have plans in the future to construct a shelf unit for tanks with a slide out system, rather like drawers, to get into the tanks.
