Hatchling Rack from WALMART...

[DesignerBP]

....Well the beginnings of one - I did the rest. Easy to do and thought I'd share my experiment .

I'm sure it can be done sure all kinds of sterilite drawer sets.
I cut the back panel from a top of 28qt tub


Wiring heat tape.





Secure back panel with screws.


Drilling air holes.


All done.




Oh.. and make sure no sneaky ones escape when the above drawer is open

That is pretty cool

I don't know how much space there is between them but you may be able to cut and hot glue a a sheet of cardboard or plastic between the drawers to prevent escapees.

Nice little setup, I dont really see how you drilled the tubs without cracking them?

there's way too small a gap for escape but i will put small tabs on the front to stop the drawers from accidentally sliding open.

idk the bit went through just fine.

Just make sure you don't break any necks when you close the open tubs.

Very cool - but be careful - hatchlings HAVE escaped from that type of set-up before. Many users have tried using that as a rack, and after several escapes, gave them up. Ball pythons can squeeze through smaller spaces than you can imagine.

I should have a DIY Hatchling/Juvie rack up next week made with storage shelves and 6 quart tubs and small kitty litter pans. I'm making it this weekend and have one that I've used for a year already. It's a rack system that Justin Kobylka has used for a few years and graciously shared the plans with me.

Those tubs can be very dangerous...
I don't recommend them.
