    Could i use a rack system??????

    Hello i live in Los angeles. the humidity here is around 50-60%... and i am starting to add more snakes to my collection, and i was wondering if i could build a rack system for my bps... last time i used tubs the humidity was to high and i flipped out and got tanks...

    ive seen people who live in LA use tubs and have no trouble with it.. is there anyone who lives in cali who uses tubs or has a rack system, and knows whether i should/could use one or not?

    you can use a rack if you want, just put a lot of holes in the tub to keep the humidity in them down

    Where in LA do you live with high humidity? Must be fairly close to the water. I have a huge humidifier in my snake room just to keep it at 45% humidity.

    Anyway the rack is the easiest and most efficient way to go. You will never look back. Vision cages are in Canoga Park. Drive there and dont pay shipping.(call first)

    What I like about there racks is you can have 3 different size tubs, hatchling, subadult and adult tubs all in one rack if you want.

    I live in Long Beach not even 10 min from the beach and I use a rack system. I have no heat or humidity problems.
