    Another DIY Snake Rack.

    Here is my old snake rack. Its just a bookshelf, I brought at a furniture store.
    I brought plastic tubs, then Exo Terra Faunarium tubs, and then more tubs for my ever growing collection.
    Been using this bookshelf for 2 years plus, if i recall correctly. And decided that, it time to go LID-Less.

    Here is how it look like emptied.

    Shelf removed.

    Custom Wood Panel & Modified Wood Panel (from the existing bookshelf) to accomodate the tubs. There is a 3-inch attachement from the original shelf.

    Measure, drill & screw.

    For the gap or clearance, i use a cotton bud with the buds cut off, and tape them to the tubs.

    Looking good, right?

    From 4pm to 7pm. Finish product.

    Compare this to the 1st picture I posted. More neat, eh..

    Here is the side-view, with the 3-inch extension i mention.


    Here is the python rack. You can see on the very 1st pic, there was a glass tank. Now, there is a nice looking snake rack.

    About 50% occupied.

    What is inside?
    Ball Pythons, Pythons & Boa.
    Nicely fit this Genetic Stripe Ball Python.

    This Sumatran Black Blood. (Python Curtus)

    This Lemon Pastel Ball Python.

    This SilverStreak Ball Python.

    This Butter Ball Python.

    This Coral Albino Boa.

    A few more not shown are the Normals, Pins, Malaysia Blood, corns, milks, kings, hognose.. total 32-heads. with lots of room for future snakes.

    I dont want to get rid of the old tubs, that why I plan my tubs that way. Thanks for viewing.
