Have the juvies in the 16s (2 per shelf) and the adults in the 32s. I have three others in aquariums, which is what I started them out in, and am seriously looking at buying another rack to move them all into tubs. Right now am waithing to see if I get any clutches this winter before I buy anything. If I do, will be getting a hatchling rack from someone, and put off the next juvy/adult rack for a little while.
Well the reason I went with the 11" Flexx is because they say the heat should be equal to 1/3 of the tub and my biggest female is almost 3000 grams and she seems just fine in the 41 qts that I am using. This is just what I made and use to give someone an idea I also have a 40qt rack that I built and works awesome. I really love the fact that I put a work top on that one it really comes in handy!
