    Re: My First Rack

    Picking up the AP sterilite 1960 this Wednesday from the breeder, and had a few questions for ya'll:

    1. What all should go in the hide? It's a 41 qt, and I've been told that I need to maybe make the rack "smaller" by filling it with some stuff other than a water dish

    2. I hear good things about the deli cup water dishes, and saw justin kobylka using the PVC...Anyone have a technique they prefer/suggest?

    3. Best Substrate for a rack?

    4. I've heard complaints about the sterilite tubs and how they have grooves, etc. that can be a pain to clean. Is there a tub that would work in the rack other than sterilite? Would I just need to find something with the same dimensions as the 1960 (34 3/4"L x 16 1/2"W x 6"H)?

    5. Technique for hooking up a thermostat to the heat tape? The rack is three feet deep with only a front opening so I wasn't sure how to get it back there, or which spot on the heat tape to hook it up to (which level i guess)

    6.Could a smaller tub be put in the rack until Wyatt gets larger?

    7. Any other advice/opinions/photos? Thanks guys
