    FB Build to Suit racks

    I'm interested in these Freedom Breeder build to suit racks, where they build them with the amount of levels, tubs & heat that you need. Has anyone ever done this? If so, how did you like it, and did you ever order more levels to add to the existing ones? Thanks in advance for any help.

    There's a link for anybody wondering what the heck I'm talking about.

    Well seeing as a starter level 1 row with casters etc is almost 300 w/o shipping, I'll continue to make my 12 slot racks with tubs & heat for under $200. Until I win the lotto that is
    Check out what's available at

    yea the price is kind of steep, but I'm definitely not in a permanent home and moving a melamine rack by myself is somewhat out of the question

    Re: FB Build to Suit racks

    To answer your question I've done it before and it was great. It's cheaper to buy the full rack, but if you don't need that many tubs this is perfect. FB racks are very high quality products.

    I build my own racks from Plywood and 2x4s (and cages from plywood as well) and they are lightweight, easy to move, and work just fine. I think the most I've spent on any snake building project yet was $150.

    Re: FB Build to Suit racks

    You're always going to pay more for quality. I definitely prefer the FB/ARS style racks with the hanging tubs over the shelf style racks that are popular right now. You pay a little more, but you'd have to throw it off the roof of an apartment building to break it.

    That's why I love them too!

    Re: FB Build to Suit racks

    thanks for all of the help guys. That dragon4you doesn't include heat. Just because of price and the fact that at the end of the year I can only envision myself having 4 snakes I think I'm going to go with a RBI sweaterbox rack, however, FB & ARS are definitely in the plans once I get more financially stable.
