There are a lot of good threads and links to plans etc in the diy forum.

What you need is correct heat and humidity levels. So usually heat tape (or heat mats ), a thermostat and your golden.

Cost depends on the plans you choose - which depend on your individual needs as far as looks, ambient temps etc. If you build it right it should last you a while though so don't be afraid to invest in good quality.

Most of the money will likely go towards the thermostat and heating - which can of course be reused later if you upgrade.

And finally, this is an excellent way of housing multiple snakes.

I agree with the post above. I would also add that youtube has alot of good DIY videos on building these racks and will help you a lot

I would also give you a little advise and tell you to start small, dont make a huge rack the first time cause you will prolly make some mistakes and learn from your experiences
